I bought a 1500 Ram, 318/auto that was recently broadsided (very) hard, while parked. Hard enough to knock the trans linkage loose. Shifted it from underneath into park. When I attempt to start, it acts normally (chimes, radio cuts off, etc.). However, no crank.

Ran fine hours before being hit. I see nothing blown as far as fuses in the PDC. No obvious cut wires, (passenger side took the impact). Distributor cap is intact from what I can see of it. No codes.

Where would you start trouble shooting? Older truck would be no issue to rig up an ign system. New truck has too much stuff to try and bypass! My intent is just to get it running well enough to verify engine/trans and move it on my property.

Same as an old one.First make sure you have poer to the starter.Then with a test light make sure the small wire gets power when the key is turned to start.Rocky

PM me your email. I have FSM to send you wiring diagram. Sounds like park neutral switch was compromised in the collision.
