You don't give enough info. Is the engine cranking over?

Does any dash lights come on or gauges move when you turn on the ignition switch?

Well you know how to get it started by jumping the starter relay.

Then Trouble shoot your new Ign. switch I'd say.

1st thought something is not wired correctly if you can start it by shorting the relay.
