Anybody that is sooo cheap they use new clamp on ends instead of replacing the whole cable should be taken out and shot for disrespecting their truck. Acid funme get in the bare ends and corrode things so bad they only last few weeks.
Those years of Mopars also had problems with the main wiring connector through the firewall. Look for melted wire and plastic connector in there.
Do NOT throw any more new parts at it. Now we have to wonder whether you connected things wrong. The ignition module was wasted effort. Starter relay might have made some sense, but they rarely go bad. More often it's a loose wire or shift link/neutral safety switch adjustment.
Where does the big wire from the batt feed the dash? Starter relay? Wrong side perhaps?
What was the problem before charging the battery? Maybe it got worse?
