Hi,
Have you confirmed the battery is charged?
Here is a simple load test you can do at home without tools:

Before going further, see if it will start in neutral.
If the battery is good/charged and neutral makes no change, then we need to start checking fuses. There are several that need to be good for the starter to engage.
Below, I attached the wiring schematic for the starter circuit. I highlighted all necessary fuses for things to work. Additionally, there is a starter relay that needs to be checked if the fuses are good. So, the easiest thing to do is this.
If you have a helper, locate the purple wire on the starter motor. That wire will only have power when the key is in the start position. At all other times, it will not have power. So, have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power at the purple wire. If there is power, then we know the relay and fuses are all good and the starter is bad. If there is no power, then check the fuses. In addition to checking fuses, make sure there is power to and from them.
Here is a link to help you with that process:

If all fuses are good and have power, we need to test the relay. If there is a different relay in the box that has the same part number, switch them. If there isn't one, here is a link explaining how to test one:

If the relay is good, then we will need to check for ground issues for the relay. We will cross that bridge if needed.
The last two pics show the locations of the relay and fuses. Pic 3 is the under-hood fuse box and pic 4 is in the vehicle.
Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
