that wire is for the radio dimmer. when you turn on your headlights the radio dims so your not blinded at night. Some aftermarket stereos have a place to hook this wire up and some don't.
In my 1989 Dodge Dakota the brake light is on fuse number13 it is a 5amp it also goes to buzzer, speed control, check engine light, anti-lock warning light, and other things page 12-19 Haynes 1987- 1993 Dodge Dakota Repair Manual
sorry, no it will not. they changed the radios in 2000. notice the face on the 2002 has round corners but the 98 has square corners. now the good news any radio out of a Dakota/ram/stratus/breeze etc from 99 back about 5-6 years will fit. I just put a 96 stratus am/FM/cass/CD in my 97 Dakota & son did the same in his 99 ram
if you are using an aftermarket wiring harness hook up the remote turn on wire on the new radio it should be blue with a white stripe to the harness also has a blue and white stripe and plug it in this wire turns on the factory amplifier if you are not using a harness you will have to locate the internal amplifier wire of the radio and connect that to the remote turn on on the aftermarket radio = answer = the inernal apm power wire is white on the black wire harness ANSWER if you dont want to use the factory amp. just run new speaker wires to each speaker.

This comes to a great many of issues and questions. First are they both the same transmission, is the Dakota ment to have 4WD, what is your fabricating cababilites... so on and so forth. Personal suggestion, don't bother, but if you are determined you can make anything fit anywhere.
If there is power in the radio but the system is lacking sound then there is a problem with the speaker connections. On the 1997 Dodge Dakota check the speaker connections with a spark tester. If no spark trace the wires to find any loose or incorrect connections.
Factory system, no. Aftermarket add on, yes.
go to walmart and pickup the aftermarket stereo installation kit for your vehicle. instructions included.
If you installed an aftermarket radio and had to change the wiring you have a wire in the wrong place.
if you like the ride you have go to dodge for oem parts. i've found they tend to last longer than aftermarket.
