* Under the hood in the Power Distribution Center (PDC): This is the most common location. The PDC is usually a large black plastic box, often located near the battery. You'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to identify the specific relay. The relay itself might be labeled, or you may need to trace wires to confirm.
* Inside the cab, under the dash: Less common, but possible. This is less likely than the PDC location.
To find it, I strongly recommend:
1. Consulting your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will show you the exact location and often a diagram of the PDC.
2. Using a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram specific to your 1992 Dodge Dakota year and model will clearly show the fuel pump relay location and its circuit. You can find these online through various automotive parts websites or repair manuals.
Without your owner's manual or a wiring diagram, pinpointing the exact location will be difficult and potentially time-consuming. Searching visually in the PDC under the hood is your best starting point. Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with electrical components.
