Common problems and easy repairs on a 2003 Dakota

The headlights on the 2003 Dodge Dakota SLT are difficult to replace, but most other aspects of the car are very easy to repair. The center brake light and oil dipstick are both very easy to access, and setting the clock is very straightforward.

There are, however, some more challenging aspects to this 2003 Dodge Dakota SLT. Accessing the headlight will be tedious, as you’ll need to remove a second bulb housing first. Although not too difficult to remove, the jack on this vehicle is positioned in a rather unique location. In order to drain the coolant, you will have to remove many fasteners and a panel.
