No start think it's bad fuse pannel
 
For the past week I was having to jump my 1996 dodge ram 1500 with a wire on the starter relay. Well last night I put it on a button so I can just push the button and start it. So this morning I go to try and nothing happened now my ac won't come on Windows won't go down etc... Any suggestions??

Wouldn't that make nothing work tho like radio and all. Everything like headlights and all come on and yesterday it was starting fine when I jumped it from the starter relay now when I try it don't do anything I have to get under it. But is that what you think it is

Things like lights that work without the ignition switch on will still work with a bad switch.

If it will not crank without your button, the switch is likely bad. If it cranked with your button yesterday, but doesn't now, the starter might be bad.

Do you have a test light or a meter?

How did you connect the button you put in last night? Are you using it to bypass the starter relay?

And I can start it from the solenoid perfectly

Yes that's exactly what I did just as a temporary fix

See if you are getting power on pin 30 of the starter relay. If not, check for burnt fuses.
