You should have been lurking here about 6 mos ago when I was pulling my hair
out with my no start Corolla. If you are certain that there isn't even a
click when you turn the key, it could be the neutral safety switch. Try
putting the shifter more sharply into park or in neutral and see if this
helps. I eventually had to bypass my broken switch, but that was only half
my problem. I also ran new cabling and wiring because I wasn't getting a
full juice from the battery.
If you get a click-click when you turn the key, it is the famous starter
plunger / selenoid problem which can be easily rebuilt with a kit.
Try the hard-to-park position or neutral first. Keep us posted.
