Cranks fine but no start. All fuses light up except crank signal BCM cluster 10A fuse. Windshield is the antenna.

The crank fuse needs to be functional for the starter to engage. Are you checking it with the key in the start position?

Next, I'm not sure how the windshield would be related, but most times a crank no-start condition is caused by either a fuel-related issue or an ignition-related issue.

Do this and let me know the results. See if the engine will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it's a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,
