won't turn over, ignition switch?
soo... 1995 dodge ram 4wd, 5.9 auto trans. truck won't turn over with the key, ignition switch feels "loose" and turns through much of it's rotational range without much resistance. Fuel pressure is a little low, but if I jumper the starter relay in the power distribution box under the hood, it'll turn over and stat right up. There's no power coming in to energize the coil (left side pin yellow / red wire connects underneath), but there is power for the starter on the other pin. (I jumper front and rear pons 87 and 30 I think? and the truck wil start). The way I read the wiring diagram there/s nothing else between there and and the ignition switch. I've pulled the power distribution box, checked for corrosion inside, cleaned contacts there as well as all major plugs that are related, looked for any broken wires under the dash, etc...
Is there anything else that it might be? I went ahead and ordered an ignition switch... but thought I'd double check and see what others thought... Thanks!

I checked a couple more things... if it were on the ground side of the starter relay, I should still have hot on the relay socket that comes from the ignition switch (when I turn the switch to the start position). It stays dead as a doornail... I also checked have continuity from the ground side of the relay to chassis ground in the engine compartment.

This is for a jeep but dodge is made the same way.
