Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuits ? Using a volt meter an wiring diagram to locate problems ?
Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year ,make , model and engine size . Under system click on engine , under subsystem click starting . Click the search button then the blue link . The buzzing sound you hear may be the starter relay , do you know what a relay is ? Behind the right side kick panel , this is where the front passengers right foot would be next to . Pull the plastic cover and behind is the central junction box. You can check for B+ voltage where the relay plugs in .

Try unlocking the driver door with the key.Then try to start the car. Hope this helps.

its your rear a/c actuator door in the rear RH side panel. The door is damaged or binding, replace it with a new one. To access this, you must remove the panel or top cover. hopefully this helps

try swapping the starter relay withj the horn relay. If this works, replace the relay. If this doesn't work, please get back to me.

Hello Steven.
The problem will most likely be between the ignition switch and the interior fuse panel if it goes as soon as you turn key to "on".
If it were after the interior fuse panel, the fuses within the interior panel would blow.
You will need to look at the wiring out of the switch for a short to ground. Perhaps the harness is rubbed through under the dash.
The gray/yellow, light green/pink and black/light green are the ones that power up when key turned on.
If it blows when the starter is tried look at the red/light blue out of the switch. This is what activates the starter circuit.
This circuit is also protected in the interior fuse panel so another reason I suspect the problem is under the dash near the ignition switch.
Check it out and let me know if you need more assistance.
Thank you for using FixYa.
