It has been a while, If I remember correctly the branch is in the harness between the fire wall and battery along the left side inner fender. look for the green powder(corrosion).won't be easy to spot, it is inside the taped harness. Getting an aftermarket Bad part is not that uncommon. a scan tool that is bidirectional can command the coil to fire/spark. if that happens then the wiring is good,


Just fixed that problem on a 95 Dakota...changed pick up coil..coil..crank sensor...kept dying and not wanting to restart..found a youtube video...showed were the wires were...and this dakota has been in the desert all its life and still corrode...runs great again..
