Truck won't start

paigeoliver:
I was all sorts of underneath the dash, so I could have killed the odometer myself. Also, I got the "Service engine soon" light on the way to work, which I have never seen before. Of course that might have very well come on because the odometer isn't working.

and of course you have now checked all the fuses and the battery terminal condition, right? right?

paigeoliver:
All the fuses were fine, I can't locate the ignition relay, and I had already cleaned/sanded the battery terminals in my earliest troubleshooting. The positive terminal does build up some crud, it is completely clean now though. I may want to replace the battery cables though, as they might very well be 19 years old.

DaOld Man:
I had a similar problem with my 94 Dodge dakota.
Except my problem was that the radio, headlights and a few more things would not come on. Motor started and ran fine.
Checked fuses and anything else I could.
I finally took it into my mechanic. He had it fixed the next day. He said he found a short behind the fuse block. (He called it a short, but I figured it was really a loose connection, because a short would have created smoke.)

dont worry about the cables, theyll be fine. just so long as the lugs/terminals on the ends of them are good...
