Changed the crankshaft seal on 1997 dodge caravan. Had to remove power steering pump, alternator, air conditioning unit, motor mount, belts, and all covers to get to the seal. Also changed water pump and timing belt. Put everything back together and car will turn over, but will not start. Seems like it's not getting gas. Wondering if I did something wrong or what problem might be. Also, rear window wiper lights on middle console and radio light continually flash. Thanks for your help.

Interesting problem. Are you sure you got the timing correct? Also, have you checked to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine? Finally, with the electrical problems, are you sure the ground to the engine block is clean and tight as well as the battery terminals and body grounds?
