Check the crank sensor first, it is frequently a victim in that situation.
I found this when I was checking the ignition coil pick up and I took off the crank position sensor crank position sensor visually doesn’t look too bad. There is some dust and some metal shavings on there, but not too big of a deal. The ignition will pick up. I feel like every Dodge I’ve seen or every time I replace this or take it out it’s always bent in the exact same way every time.
I’ve checked the pin outs of the key switch and the fuse box’s but my helper left so so far I have power from switch to fuse box’s and with that what exactly do to find it to see if I have power and do I check from fuse box to connection
Check AT the coil connector. Stick a test light in it or something, that you can see from the drivers seat. Light should come on for a few seconds when you turn the key on, and should come on, and stay on, while the engine is cranking.
