1996 dodge ram 1500 automatic. Won't crank.

Asked by Ganarful Jul 08, 2018 at 08:49 PM about the 1996 Dodge RAM 1500 LT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Only will start if I bypass 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 checkibg 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.
