Hi,

I suspect one of the ignition fuses has failed. I attached a picture below of the fuse box under the hood. I need you to check the fuses I indicated (highlighted) in the pic.

Next, if the fuses are good and there is power to and from them, check the starter relay. If there is another relay with the same part number, switch them to see if that makes a difference. If there isn't, I will provide a link that explains how to test a relay.

Here are a few links you may find helpful:
