QUESTION: It is a 1996 dodge ram and the computer was new and already programmed
ANSWER: Recheck the wiring with a 12v test light. If you have been using a DVOM you may be getting false readings. If you still have power to both wires at the coil with the connector unplugged would indicate that there is a short to power on the driver circuit from the computer. Unplug the computer wiring and check again there should be no power to either wire. Next, install a jumper wire between the ASD relay terminal 30 and 85, you should now only has power on one wire.

QUESTION: I did that and now when you turn it over to crank it there is no power on neither wire pos. or neg.And that is with no jumper wire,what do I need to do next.
AnswerI'm not going to waste anymore time trying to lead you through a very long and complex No Start diagnostic procedure. You obviously are in over your head. Call a tow truck to take it a shop that can fix it. You have already wasted a good amount of time and money guessing at the problem.
