2000 dakota no power at ignition
If you have power like I'm saying, then it sounds like the switch.
So long as you have power on the red and pink, they are the inputs, then you should have power on the other pins, they are the outputs.
Was this a new switch or did it come with the column?

If you want to be creative, just to try something. Bypass the switch.
Jump the red wire to the black with white tracer. Your stereo should work. It may get hot so use something that can handle some current.

Hold on. If I read your previous entry correctly, you said you're grounding the black with white tracer? If you're doing that, nothing is going to work. That wire feeds the junction block which in turn feeds a lot of things (like fuses 6 (wipers and CTM), 8 (radio), 10 (combination flashers) and 15 (lighter)). I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a ground fault circuit somewhere in the PCM that is shutting everything down the second you turn the key and complete the circuit. That wire should be going from pin 6 of the connector to pin 4 on connector C9 of the junction block (the fuse panel inside the cab). Hope this information helps...
No. Just that the black with white tracer is not a ground wire and that if you're attaching it to ground, it won't power what it should be powering and that the PCM might be seeing the ground as a fault and protecting itself.
I would disconnect the black with white tracer from ground, tape it off and see if you can at least start the truck. If it will start, then I would shut it off and connect that wire to where it belongs (pin 4 of C9 on the junction box).
