'99 Ram Ignition Issues

Asked by JaredDail Jun 28, 2020 at 10:59 AM about the 1999 Dodge RAM 1500 Laramie SLT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I bought this 99 ram that wouldnt start, the windows
didnt work and the blower motor for the a/c didnt work. I
played with the ignition and got it to crank up so i knew it
was a bad ignition switch along with those other
symptoms. I replaced it with a cheap one I got online and it
fixed all of my issues for about 30 seconds, and then quit. I
thought it was just another faulty switch so i went to
advance and got a name brand one, installed it, and still
nothing. The connections all look clean and undamaged.
What could this be?? No power windows, no blower motor,
no start. Sounds exactly like a bad ignition switch but it has
a brand new ignition switch

You were right crumbob, the new switch must have blown out the 30amp ign/run fuse. Swapped it out and everything works once again
