Hello,
The first step is looking for the security light. If it is on, the key may not be recognized.
Next, you will need to identify if the starter relay is clicking on when you turn the key to start.
If the relay is not getting power when you try to start with the key, the issue may be anti-theft or the ignition switch (electronic portion).
If you get power at the relay, your starter might just be bad, and you can have it tested at most auto parts stores.
