Check lockout switch on brake pedal lever. See if brake lights work. Switch on brake pedal lever could be broken or moved.
Check the neutral safety switch - try cranking while in neutral also.

You may have burnt starter solenoid contacts, do you hear a click when you try to start engine? If so the problem is the starter.

I have had the exact same problem. There is an ignition lock that probably went off. There is a fuse box under the hood. The fuse that says ignition on it pull it out and put it back in. This should reset the ignition lock. Its a safety feature because the car thinks that someone was trying to tamper with it.

The chip is in the key. Either the key has lost it's program or the transceiver is not recognising the key. Try another key if you have one.

Sounds as if you have a burnt "fusible link". Check your wires from the starter to the battery, and then to the fuse box.

Hi I'm litoshop if you connected the wires exactly the same way the old solenoid was connected then you have a bad solenoid if the parts are not oem you can get a lot of bad after market parts I prefer original parts to avoid these kind of problems, But if your not sure about the wiring then I need to know how many wires connected to the solenoid what year and engine is your car so I can help you. if this information has been useful please let us know thank you
