My dash is saying "no fuse", I have replaced the water pump, timing belt, alternator, spark plugs and ignition coils, cleaned the fuel injectors, and at this time it is currently crank but no start. So I did some research and come to find out that the TIPM are faulty on most Chryslers so I changed all the fuses because there was no power to the auto shut down fuse into fuse location 23 and 26.

I suspect you have more then one issue. Let's start with the no fuse issue. That is normally one of the IOD fuses are removed or blown. This was common on these vehicles when the dealer stores them on the lot, they pull these fuses so that the batteries don't drain. It tells them no fuse so that they remember to put it back in before they sell the vehicle.

As for not starting that may be a TIPM issue but we need to find out if the ASD relay is being grounded by the PCM. So take a look at the wiring diagram and find out if it is getting ground when you crank the engine.

You do this by removing the relay and putting your test light lead or volt meter lead on battery positive because you need to supply the power when testing a ground. Then the other lead on the B5 terminal of the relay block and crank the engine. Does the test light come on or the meter show 12 volts? If not then the PCM is not grounding the relay so that it closes and sends power to fuse 26 and 32.

Okay, so I have very little spark, it sparked like twice and did not spark anymore. Also the oil has a smell of gas that is very strong. What is the reason for barely any spark and gas in the oil?

Also the windshield wipers go crazy when turning the key on and the washer fluid starts spraying out.

Let's start with changing the oil and spark plugs. I suspect you have fouled spark plugs and all the cranking has washed fuel down to the crank case. If you do not change your oil, the fuel in the current oil can cause cylinder wall scoring so we need to do that first.

Let's address the not starting and then we can figure out the wipers as that sounds like a different issue and we will need to get a new post started for that one. Just pull the relay for the wipers so they are not moving while trying to figure this out.

I changed the oil already. I did not know if there was a different reason for fuel in the oil outside of just changing and replacing it.

Yeah. Unfortunately when you have weak spark or no spark, then the combustion chamber gets soaked with fuel because it is not getting burned. When this happened it eventually makes it way into the oil.

Let us know when you change the plugs out and if the engine is starting. Thanks
