There are different sensors and possibly some different wiring for those sensors (can't remember exactly right now; been awhile since I've gone over the specific differences). I'm assuming you didn't change any of those? '00-'02 is different than '03-'05 because of the two different computer systems.

If it wont crank at all you need to use a test light or multimeter to check for power, ground, and ignition signal to the starter. Works your way up to the fuses, relays, and terminals. Does the fuel pump kick on?

Work your way through this guide here: How to Troubleshoot a No Start (Chrysler 2.0L, 2.4L)
It gives you a good walkthrough on what to check for crank but no start conditions.
