Slant engine prob.

Please read carefully this is how this works

The ignition switch in a Mopar feeds "ignition run" or IGN1 voltage out through the bulkhead connector to one end of the ballast resistor, and this branches off and feeds the voltage regulator and depending on model/ year a couple other components Normally dark blue

THIS VOLTAGE BY DESIGN goes "dead" during cranking/ start

HOW does it start?

There is another dedicated contact in the switch called IGN2 which is the (usually brown) bypass circuit. This is live ONLY in start and sends full battery voltage to the coil + side of the ballast resistor. THIS IS what causes the car to start. You need to CHECK the coil + with a lamp and see if you have voltage on the coil during cranking.

HOW DOES the electronic ignition get voltage? Power feeds from the coil+ side of the ballast "backwards" through the ballast and to the electronics module connected to the other end. This again, is ONLY during "start.

IF YOU ARE NOT getting battery voltage to the coil during cranking the "functional path" for that power is from igntiion switch.......out on brown IGN2..........through bulkhead connector.........to the coil side of the ballast resistor Could be a bad connection in the bulkhead connector, a bad connection at the ignition switch connector, or a bad ignition switch, or MODIFIED WIRING INCORRECTLY DONE
