The first place I'd check is the ignition switch. If that's good then I'd suspect a problem with the BCM (Body Control Module). When you turn the key to the start position the ignition switch sends a "starter request" signal to the BCM. The BCM then activates the starter. The BCM also controls things like wipers, lights, horn, power locks and windows, etc. HTH. -Jim

I agree, if you hear clicking, follow the clicking and it should lead to your BCM
