I put new plugs wires cap rotor button on my 96 Dodge Ram five nine now the ignition will not turn the truck over I can jump the starter wire to the battery and it will turn over and start fine but I can’t get no ignition power after doing all of that work truck started fine before I change the plugs Gap rotor button and wires also change the ignition coil in the distributor and the spark coil on the side of the engine

Hall light show on – but no crank like I said I could jump the starter to the battery and it cranks right up and runs but no ignition power to the starter I’m not sure what happened when I put the cap rotor button and wires and plugs on but ever since that it hasn’t started
