Dodges are good for blowing fuses. If that is not it, the fan switch might need replaced.
Jeeps do not use inertia switches.
Most Likely it is a 45RFE. The 2003 and on have a 42RLE. The 45 will handle more torque. It was used in Dodge trucks and Grand Cherokee.
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.
A neutral safety switch is located on a steering column or center console depending on where your gear selector is placed, and is for automatic transmissions. the clutch safety switch is located near the floor board on the firewall where the clutch petal meets it when depressed. in both cases these switch brackets can get bent or loosened pull forward on a bent bracket, or tighten the strap and adjust in both cases to ensure the lever is engaging this button.
The backup light switch is mounted on the transmission casing.
its on the front of the transmission, near the trans pan
The backup light switch is located on the side of the transmission. It has two wires coming off of it but they are probably covered in wire wrap.
Where it is exactly I do not know suffice it to say that it is somewhere on the transmission.
it is located under hood in relay and fuse holder. right by driver front fender
Most likely on the back left of the transmission, right above the pan.
Most likely on the back left of the transmission, right above the pan.
The backup sensor is inside the transmission.
I don't know what engine/transmission you have, but on my wiring diagrams for the Magnum V8's / 46RE transmissions, the reverse switch is part of the Park/Neutral switch on the left side of the transmission, purple with a black stripe.
There is no relay for the backup lights. The circuit is powered by the keyswitch, runs thru a 10 amp fuse on the interior fuse block, then goes through a switch mounted on the transmission, and on to the lights. The switch is on the front of the manual transmission, and on the lower front of the automatic.
More than likely you will need to replace the backup light switch on the transmission case.
I believe it is located at the base of the steering column and works in connection with the gear shift lever. If not, then it will be a separate switch screwed into the transmission case.
