1970 dodge truck ignition switch wiring diagram

check the brake light switch

It should be easy to hot-wire the switch. There is a hot power-in wire, a run wire at the "on" position, and a start wire at the start position. That is all you need. First locate the power wire, twist it with the run wire. Now the ignition should be on, the dash warning lights and gauges on. Now if you take the start wire and touch it to those two twisted together, the engine should crank over and start.

This is a quick way to get it started, but you have to cut the wires. If you pull off the ignition switch connector, you might be able to use short jumper wires from the hot wire to the run position, and one to the start wire. Then if you get a new key and lock cylinder later, all you have to do is to plug back in the switch connector.

I had a similar problem years ago. As long as your dash lights come on, it's likely you can use an external pushbutton switch to run the starter. There are likely just 4 wires on the ignition switch. Power from the battery, and switched to:
accessories
main car stuff (dash lights, ignition, signals, etc)
starter.
splice in wires from battery and starter to new switch, and you're good to go. This worked for years on my old car.

That is an older car. A schematic may be available on a Google search. Chiltons and other repair manuals often do not have electrical schematics.

When you say no power at fuse panel, do you mean entire panel?
As far as no turn over, have you checked for neutral safety switch problem?

you don't need them,
run your hot wire directly from battery,and the from push button switch to starter solenoid,but you will still have to have the key turned on to run

I'm sending your wiring diagram for your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 it's a complete anti-lock brake circuit that includes a stop light switch.

check the wires on the back of amp meter.dodges are know for that

Make sure you give it a good tune up. Make sure that your rotor is moving when you crank it over. If it is moving then you will need to replace the distributor module.

here is what I found:
