Today I just got a click sound and everything went dark. No horn, door bells, lights, nothing. Any idea where I should start my investigation? I looked at all fuses and found none of them burned out. Thanks for the help Keith Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jan 28, 2010, 10:42 PM Post #2 of 5 (1159 views) Re: 2000 Dakota lost all Electrical power Sign In Sounds like a bad connection.....Get the battery tested & clean the cables & terminals to start with.... kh2885 New User Jan 29, 2010, 9:32 AM Post #3 of 5 (1151 views) Re: 2000 Dakota lost all Electrical power Sign In This is the first thing I did. Battery is less than 3 months old also. Any chance it could be the starter. It would always take two turns before it would start.

When you lose everything when you turn the key, usually it's a connection problem, either at the battery or block. If you've removed the cables & cleaned them & the battery terminals then check down at the block. If you've just "looked" at it & it "looks good",,,,,, take the terminals off & clean them & the battery........ Also before you get too deep, get the battery load tested, just because it's only 3 months old doesn't mean anything.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
