Corroded wire under hood on left front fender. Don't recall which one but very common issue with the generation of Dakota
That would be the junction where 5 wires that are ignition power are factory spliced together (mine were pink with a blue tracer) between the master cylinder and the under hood fuse box on the newer ones, and between the master cylinder and the battery on the older ones.
My 93 would loose the power to the fuel pump relay in the under hood fuse box, but I've seen them loose power to the cam sensor and the crank sensor also. If you have something in the ignition circuit that doesn't have power when its suppose to, look for the junction to have broken wires. Gene
