Exclamation No spark, need help and ideas

I have a 99 jeep cherokee sport with a no spark problem but will attempt to turn over. The jeep 2 weeks ago wouldn crank but would turn over but in a few it cranked. It did this once more last week then this week it wouldn start up at all and showed no signs of problems while it was running till i shut it off. There is no power going to the coil, the pick up underneath the distributer or the brain. Even 9 of my fuses in the fuse box inside are not getting power and they are not blown. But i checked all the other fuses and they were good, all the bus fuses were good also. I changed the coil with a brand new one, i changed the ecu with another one garrenteed, even changed the crank positon sensor still nothing. All lights work wipers and gauges and so forth. Can u help me?

You should check your ASD Relay or possibly try starting it from neutral to see if you have a bad Neutral Safety Switch.

The ignition switch itself is still in play here. Juice goes from the ignition switch, to the ASD relay, to the coil and other components.

Check for power at the socket of the ASD relay. If you have no power, I'd suspect the ignition switch itself.
