What's the history that led up to this? Did the engine stall while you were driving, or did it just suddenly fail to start? Have you checked for spark? You should still hear the hum of the fuel pump for one second when you turn on the ignition switch.
The 1500 uses a separate automatic shutdown, (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay, but they're both turned on by the Engine Computer at the same time. There's nothing special about either one so you can switch them as a quick test.
If you or a helper can hear the fuel pump run for one second when you turn on the ignition switch, that entire circuit and the fuel pump relay are okay. If you do have spark during cranking, the ASD relay is turning on. That proves the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor are okay, and we have to look at the fuel supply system. If you don't have spark, the fastest test is to connect a grounded test light to the positive wire on the ignition coil. That will be the dark green / orange wire. You can also back-probe any of the injectors for this test. Same wire color at every one of them.
You should see the test light turn on for one second when you turn on the ignition switch. What's important is if it turns back on when you crank the engine. If it does not, the cam and crank sensors are the first suspects.
A failed sensor will not always set a diagnostic fault code right away or just when cranking the engine. They often set only when a stalled engine is coasting to a stop. Regardless, have you read the fault codes yet? Do you know how to do that yourself? Chrysler made it very easy by cycling the ignition switch from "off" to "run" three times within five seconds, without cranking the engine, leave it in "run", then watch the code numbers appear in the odometer display.

or I can interpret them for you. If the battery was disconnected, the fault codes will have been erased.
