98 dodge dakota help . . .

TSX24L · 02-04-2007, 03:02 PM

I have a 98 dakota 4cyl. with a fan that keeps and very intermenitlly stays on. Mainly in the summer time when it was warmer. I checked both upper and lower coolant hoses and there is flow also checked the temp. sensor for ohms and iam not sure what dodge's specifications are and its limits I guess.

Just wondering if anyone knew if this is a known issue. I checked the relay thought it might be sticking I swaped the relay with the horn relay both relays are the same. It appears to be working fine at the moment. I also checked the connector fiting to the fan motor. Its fine. I was thinking a loose terminal pin fit in the under hood fuse box for the rad.fan relay.

Can anyone else give me some sugesstions please.

other then these few hicups this has been a really great truck. Hardly every maintenced. But I was told that dodge owners don't maintence there trucks

j.k.

Also i need the rear drum parking brake adjusters hardware like the brackers. I have the cable. When working on replacing the drums,shoes and master cylinder from a blown wheel cylinder everything inside the drum assembly was rusted and the parking brake adjuster cable was broken when pulling the old drums off. If anyone knows if I can get these parts local let me know.

Intermittent cooling fan problems that happen during the summer months can be hard to diagnois in the middle of winter. It could be just about anything. Since you ruled out the relay, the motor or the sensor or the pcm maybe..... possilby....... on that model could be the problem.

As for the brakes, call any auto parts store like NAPA and ask for a rear combo kit. It has all the springs and shit are in them. i'm not sure what brackets you mean. It could be maybe a pb adjusting lever that your describing. But all that stuff is still available at the dealer and not expensive.
