My sons 1996 dodge ram 1500 wont crank only will start if I bypass starter relay, tried different relay out of a different Vehicle I know starts and no go. Is the ignition switch my last option for replacement? The I.O.D. fuse was blown when I started checking the starting issue. I've replaced starter, battery, cleaned cables, replaced cable ends so far. Started by jumping the relay and went a mile across town. When stopped to shut off vehicle motor kept spinning, than smoking. Smoke came from the starter area and will not start when I jump relay contacts now. Please any help on this is great thank you.
