Start by checking ignition switch, make sure wires and connector are not melted or brunt ,then check for power going into switch and coming out with key in crank position.when you were jumping it did you have the key on,if key was on it should have started,this make me suspect the switch, start there hope this is helpful.

How to start 2005 Dodge Dakota without keys or fob

Want to bypass your vehicle security system?
The short answer is you can't!

All modern cars have alarms and immobilizers. There is a transponder in the key and a receiver around the ignition lock. If both are present, the ECM (engine control module) or BCM (Body Control Module) releases power to the ignition circuit or the starter. When you turn the key, the starter spins the engine and you get a spark. If any one of those three items are not in the chain, you get the engine to turn, but no spark. There is no way to beat the system. You have to fix what is wrong, not find a way around it.

The immobilizer is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do.

Can I change the solenoid on my 1992 Dodge Dakota pickup, 6 cyl without removing the starter or do I have to replace the whole starter?

Most starters now a days have the solenoid integrated into the starter and are therefore irremovable. Replace the whole starter.

I have a 1998 Dodge Dakota w/ 3.9 5 speed 4X4 When I try to start it the starter engages for an instant then goes dead, if i hold the key to start it just keeps doing this, turns for an instant then...

You may want to check the wiring that is in you car between the starter and the key since you said you tried directly connecting the starter to the battery. Check for loose connections. Also most ignition systems have a capacitor in them, check it out if needs replacing
