With a test light go down to the starter and put it on ground and the purlpe wire (s terminal). have someone crank the car. if the light lights up, then it is the starter or solenoid. if it does not light up, then it is your relay, your wiring, or your VATs

No sound means most likely a bad starter solenoid. Common problem on these vehicles, but luckily a fairly easy and inexpensive fix if you do it yourself.
