Does it turn over at all or anything? If not, it could be a bad ignition switch. Maybe snap a video and post it up.

It honestly sounds like a weak battery. When was the last time you had it tested? Maybe try hooking it up to another car and jump it to see?

check the main fusible links by the passenger firewall they dont look like the regular ones. Seems this has been a common issue of blowing after battery or alternator replacement. Do you see the green light turn on at the push switch when you have the key near and foot on the brake

Weak battery or maybe the key fob is not registering to the car. Are you able to lock and unlock the doors.

Try starting the car with the key fob nearly/touching pushing on the starter button when you start the car. If the car start know theres an issue with the key fob.

Might be too simple, but try closing the doors, arming the factory security system by locking the doors via key fob, unlocking, get back in and try starting it.

Took mine for alignment this weekend and it wouldn't start, armed/disarmed the alarm, and it cranked right up.

If it were something security related I'd imagine it may start if you used the actual physical key blade in the fob?

Did you removed battery when replacing alternator? Check for any blown fuse.
