Actually, Larry sent you the codes, he just CC'ed me in on them...

Code 12 just means that the computer has sensed a battery that his been
disconnected within the last 50 starts... after I had an alarm installed
in my Dakota, I got a Code 12, then 55 for quite some time... That one
"should" go away eventually... Has your battery been disconnected at all
recently that you know of??

Yes it is Air Conditioning... and I don't think that this code is related
to your transmission problem. Due to the fact that you don't have air
conditioning, perhaps this code is normal for your truck...

>(Love the truck - in 6 years this is the 1st problem I ever had with it.
>Can't ask for more than that!)
There was someone on the list who had compiled a list of all the computer
codes for all model years Dakotas, and he was going to set it up as a web
page... I don't recall who it was, but that'd be a good place to
double-check your codes... Larry, did you give Rick 1990 codes?? Rick,
you may be able to call the dealer and tell them about the A/C clutch
cutout relay circuit code and ask them what it means. And get the
Service Manual!!
