Welcome to the forum Haldeman...

Can you jump the starter solenoid with a jumper wire/screwdriver and get the car started? I'm wondering if it is just a bad ignition switch not putting power out on the "S" terminal to the solenoid underhood.

Are you getting power TO the ignition switch and is other key powered items (like radio, heater blower, turn signals, etc.) working with the key in the "ON" position?

Let me know and we'll try to move forward from there...

HTH...
