I had the battery voltage checked and it was low, the battery was almost 4 years old, so I Replaced it.
If the battery voltage is down, it may Not engage the Starter, or the Neutral Safety switch may be bad or need adjusting, it may also be a Bad Starter or Dirty Battery Terminals, not providing a good connection.
The First thing is to check the battery voltage and also move the shifter back and forth a couple of times. Try jump starting also. Good Luck!!!

Yes the 1st thing I did was order a new battery, that didn't work. We then called AAA and had them test my old battery he said it was at 100%, so he tried to jump me as well. No luck. I will check the other option you gave me as well.

Hi Airmaxx, since you said that the battery is good and still won’t crank… sounds more like a starter. I suggest to get that checked. Good luck!

Check the starter relay. Have someone crank the car over, listening into the fusebox (near cowl, driver side, near master cylinder). No click? Swap relays and try again.
...if not...
Might be the starter. Remove the snorkel nearest engine/radiator - you should be able to see the starter beneath. Tap it with a prybar/wood & a hammer while someone cranks. If not a single AUDIBLE clicking is heard, its likely dead.
The replacement is quite straight forward, just need to remove all the airbox stuff & unplug the MAF.
Note; you will likely need to "relearn' the idle, as the car will then idle like ****, at 3-500rpm. There's procedures out there on YT, it takes a few mins for it to relearn idle.
I just did all of the above the other week, right before a giant storm. Replacement took about ~45min, being careful with vacuum lines and replacing the airfilter & cleaning the airbox at the same time.
