Sounds like the starter solenoid has died. No clicking noises?

If you dont get anything from the starter its probably the ignition switch. Ive had this exact problem before.. everything worked just the car wouldnt crank. Left me stranded in a tiny ass parking lot once.. luckily my friend came by and was able to help me get it pop started with a 20ft stretch going uphill.. had to jump into my car dukes of hazard style. .

If the solenoid is dead, you will still hear a whirring sound from the starter but it will not engage the ring gear. Bench test the starter to rule that out or use the procedure on Clark's Garage to check the ignition switch.

Edit - Clark's procedure..

If you were doing any work up near the brake booster it could also be the white plug up there became disconnected. The wire to the solenoid is part of that 2-wire connector.
