Hello,
Just to clarify, when you turn the key nothing happens, right?
If you do not hear the starter engage or make the clicking sound. The starter might not be getting power.
You might have a faulty relay or bad wiring to the starter.
First item you should check is the relay. The starter relay is located under the hood on the main fuse block (see diagram below).

I have attached the relay diagrams for your reference.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
