1995 Dodge Dakota Questions & Answers
I'm having trouble finding a door latch assembly for my 95 dodge dakota. What years or even different models of dodge can I search through in order to interchange with it?
I can't provide the answer you need - vehicle manufacturers often buy in door latch and lock parts rather than manufacturing their own and in that case the same door catch can be used at different times by several different marques, unfortunately there probably isn't a list in the public domain though if you can find it the source manufacturer will probably be pleased to help - sometimes there are identification marks on the catch.
It is rare for a door catch to need replacing and the only thing that causes excess wear is long term use with maladjusted hinges/striker and a lack of lubrication. Sometimes a spring will break but excluding breakage and wear, operating in a damp and/or dusty environment soon causes worn operating linkages and a sticking catch but removing it and washing thoroughly in a solvent before reapplying lubricant usually restores a catch to good working order.
