The starter relay in a 2008 ram 1500 is located in the main fuse panel under the hood.

I’ve been told the ignition switch is incorporated into the fuse panel itself.

Same here Jeremy it seems no one knows the answer went to a dealership and they don’t know. Does anyone know I am try to fix an issue and I need to know
It seems the manufacturer wants us to have to bring in to be fixed, because it seems like its nonexistent. But we know it's there somewhere, Super confused as to why it wasn't just mounted in or behind the fuse box under the hood
Fixed mine today, 2008 ram 1500. Started and ran to where i parked it a year ago. The start relay is soldered into a circuit board that is part of the fuse box...why?...$$$$ The relay itself is cheap, the replacement part is not. While troubleshooting I ran a jumper wire to the start terminal on the starter. The starter cranked, however after using the jumper wire to test the starter, the key worked to crank the engine....back feed magic? Don't look a gift horse in the mouth I was taught!

From my understanding the starter relay on my 2008 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7 is inside the TIPM module and is soldered on the circuit board. The TIPM modules are crazy expensive and I can't find a replacement relay to solder on myself.
