It sounds like a bad starter motor, to be sure let's use a test light on the trigger wire when the key is in the crank position, here is a guide to help and I have included the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the starter system works.

I have also included how to change the starter motor out in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

When I take out the starter relay and use the wire crossover it starts just fine but otherwise it won't start with the key.

Okay, let's check fuse #14 inside the SJB (fuse panel on the left side of the dash). Also, is the security light flashing?

Please go over this guide and get back to us.

It sounds like the SJB is shorted out, but to be sure let's do a CAN scan. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how to change the SJB out in case a code is stored for it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens. These modules have problems and cause these kinds of issues.
