we have a 1992 dodge dakota entended cab. the engine is 2wd,8 cylinders,v-8. it keeps stalling on us as we are driving down the road.. my husband says it is a wiring harness. when it stalls you can open the hood and on the right side of the engine. if we wiggle the wires the truck will start and we can drive it for a couple of days or an hour later and it stalls. do you possibly know what the problem is?

Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy)

It sounds like it may be related to the harness. I recommend to follow harness to all conectors, uncouple harness connection visually inspect both sides of connection for moisture, corrosion or other contamination, then use an ELECTRICAL spray cleaner. CRC makes a very good ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR spray make sure it s says ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR or COMPONENT on the can then use either dielectric grease or spray. This will be the easiest and fastest way to determine if connector problem or possibly harness issues.

Please get back with me to let me know. I will provide other options if doesn't work.
