Help My keyswitch for my 93 Ram burned up

[NGaudet]

does anyone know what wires to short out to hot wire the truck so i can at least get it started

Blue wire on the pump solenoid on the injection pump to activate fuel, run a lead from there to the battery positive.
Then, to activate the starter, undo the 2 pin plug just off the battery, the one with the brown and pink wires.
On th lead NOT conncted to the battery, the brown wire is solenoid direct to the starter, create a lead and touch it to the positive on the battery and she should fire up.

One thing though, I'm wondering WHY the ignition switch is fried?

It is an ongoing issue with the blower motor not working

I believe the switch is just bad and decided to short out i hope

This sounds just like what i am dealing with and I think that my switch did last night.....is the fix replacing the entire ignition switch?

Yup chgd the whole switch 80 bucks from dodge also it burned up some fuse links under the hood i had to replace two of these links

Be sure to check the amp draw on the blower motor. I had several issues with fried switches and fuse links... come to find out the blower motor was pulling twice as many amps on high than it was supposed to.

Later on I read where the motor bearings had issues with dirt getting in them, resulting in the excessive amp draw.
