Despite the man advantage, Arundel were unable to create any clear chances as the visitors stood firm.
Mullets joint boss Barry Pidgeon said: “It was disappointing not to win after being 2-0 up but Crawley Down are a good side and defended well when they went down to ten men.”
Arundel travel to Loxwood in the FA Cup preliminary round on Saturday.
