Will not start. Battery is good. Starter will hum when key is turned but will not start car.
Is it solenoid?
How many starting solenoids?
Where are they located?
Or could it be ignition switch?

If it's actually the starter that is "humming" then it probably has bad brushes? Try tapping on it to see if it kicks off! You can get brushes but they likely dont have them at your local big chain parts store. If it's a more of a high speed buzz/rattle it is likely the selinoid making the noise because of a bad connection somewhere. Put your hand on to find which part is noisy. Some cars have 2 solenoids 1 on inner fender and 1 on starter. Ford has a better idea?
