You should here the stories I hear from guys with Chevys and Fords... Heck at
least we are HONEST about problems with our trucks!!! ;)
The quick check to do on the SBEC is to remove the connector to the unit,
clean it with a contact cleaner (Virgin Freon if you still can get it, and NOT
the AC Freon!!!)... Then re-attach the connector to the SBEC... I have swapped
my mopar performance and stock sbec a few times...and the connection is somewhat
poor I think. I had a friend of mine with a '92 Dakota have all of his lights go
out...The dealer removed the SBEC connector, then re-attached it and all the
lights came back on fine... He had the dealer replace the SBEC connection
harness though...Having your lights go out on a trip through Montana and night
sounds a little TOO FUN for me!!
