No crank no start

[Gutshot]

Hey folks I have a 05 2500 Ram which was driving fine one minute went to start it up and nothing, figured it was the starter nope replaced and same issue so I checked the starter relay not clicking so that means no power to the relay. So I did what every good redneck would do took the cover off the relay and ran a wire from the battery to the left side of relay and just like that it’s running. So I’m thinking It may be a bad ignition switch but for the time being till I can get a new switch the wire will do fine

Neutral safety switch? Did you try moving the shifter out of park then back in to park? Can also try it from neutral.

Try jumping the solenoid with a screw driver. If it turns the engine over you have a bad ground. Mine truck did this and I replaced the battery ground to the block/battery. This fixed my problem.
