your starter solenoid is dead, or the starter itself is locked up. have a friend hold the key to the start position, and get under and feel the starter. if it gets hot, its locked up. if not, the solenoid is dead.

Have you tried crossing the starter solenoid? Also try tapping the starter with a hammer. Sometimes if the starter is bad it will turn over after being tapped
