Will it crank over in neutral? If so, you have a bad gear range sensor on the transmission. I would see if the trigger wire is getting power when the key is in the crank position. If so, you have a defective starter motor, or the engine is locked up. Here is a guide to help us see what's going on and I have included the starter wiring diagrams below so show you how the system works:

Here is how to change out the gear range sensor in case it cranks in neutral. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
