Hit your starter with a hammer a couple times. See if it starts. If it does, probably time for a new starter. If not, check wires.

Yeah, but starters do die. That's why I said hit it with a hammer. I drove my car for a couple weeks with the hammer trick while I waited on my paycheck.

check ALL fuses, make sure it has gas, and listen to hear if you got the fuel pump priming when in the on position. If not then sounds like we're in the same boat. any codes?

take a booster cable and put it from the engine block and the other end to the battery negative.

And make sure the ground is good connection. If not check your under hood IG fuse and the Ignition Signal fuse under the dash

Just because the fuses are good doesn't mean the ground wire to the fuse box is good.

This is definitely a ground issue. I would put it in neutral, turn the key to on, run some cable from the battery straight to the starter and see if it cranks.
