THERE IS A FUSIBLE LINK WIRE THAT SUPPLYS POWER TO THE STARTER TO MAKE IT ENGAGE. THIS WIRE IS NORMALLY LOCATED ON THE LEFT INNER FENDER WELL. FIND THIS WIRE AND PULL ON IT GENTLY ,IF IT STRECHES IT IS BURNED OUT. IF YOU ARE REFERING TO NO POWER AT THE LARGE RED WIRE ON THE STARTER THEN CK BATTERY CONECTIONS IF YOU HAVE POWER TO THE SMALL WIRE ON THE STARTER(CK WITH A TEST LIGHT) WHEN KEY IS HELD TO START POSITION THEN YOU HAVE A BAD STARTER

Have to do some testing to find out why

I would assume you need a repair shop

If your going to work on your own vehicles,
you need reference material, in the form of factory
service manuals & in your case, wiring diagrams

If you do not have wiring diagrams & a volt meter
& basic electricity knowledge ,your not going to
even find a problem

1999 dodge ram 1500 will not turn over with full charge battery fuse check seem all good

You Have to test the starter as a next step
make sure you have battery voltage on starter wiring and test ignition wire power while key is on position it is smallest wire on starter.
If voltage checks out you may wanna remove the starter and bring it to near by part store most offers free starter test these days.
Good luck

Dodge will not start

Sounds like a starter fault, before you condemn the starter, clean and check all power connections, battery to earth, battery to starter, starter to engine, engine to chassis, chassis to body. Could try using a single jumper cable, connect from earth of battery, to a good earth point on the engine, if that makes a difference, then fault found.

99 dodge ram 1500 5.2l no power when I turn the key

Could be a loose connection at your battery, check the battery terminals, trace battery leads to there ending locations for loose connections. check all fuses, or at the worst, your starter switch. 85% sure its starter switch pictured below.

Where will i find the ground wire on my 1999 dodge ram 2wd? My truck will not start just wh.ines over

ground straps usually attatch to firewall, and frame to the block, most veh have atleast 2 start by looking at frame and firewall for broken ******** either. however you can add one by simply finding a bolt on either frame or firewall, and attatch to and from bolt on block make sure the bolts don't hv plastic or rubber though so it will make good contact. (however if it's just whining, that sounds like the bendix is bad in the starter) have you tried replacing the starter?

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 starter will not turn over.

I would check the neutral safety switch and the ignition switch for voltage.
Can you jumper the solenoid and make it crank ?

1998 dodge ram turn on key and nothing. battery good.

it could be the ani theft system or the starter, go for the starter check the small wire while someone turns the key for you, see if there is power there using a 12 volt test light if so then suspect the starter try hitting it with a hammer if it starts then for sure it is the starter.

There's only 2 more things that I can think of, check the fuse for the ignition, then the computor itself, you did everything else.It might be the problem and may not.
