I don't have a shop manual for my Ram but thought I would throw out this question in case it helps get your windows up. On my Suburban, the main power feed to the windows is plugged into the fuse block. The point of attachment is powered by the ignition switch. Since there are other items on the truck, such as power door locks, that always have power available, I moved the window power feed over and piggy backed it on the door lock feed, allowing me to use my window switches without having to turn on the ignition switch.



Does the Ram have a window power feed that is externally attached to the fuse block that you could un-hook at at least temporarily jumper it to a hot 12v lead. If so, this would confirm that the problem is in the ignition switch.

B'Gate thanks for your reply . I have the windows up now , took the door cover off and used a battery to power it up with the pig tail from the motor on each door whent wrong way just reversed and they went up . No luck yet on starting still don't know what to do short of having it taken to dealer. again thanks . Ron in Louisville Ky (windows up truck down) in drive way.
