When you turn the key does the motor,or even just the starter, try to turn over at all,do you hear a click from the starter area?Have you tried jump starting her?It could be the starter or just the starter solenoid,could be a bad/weak battery or even a bad battery cable.

you turn the key all the electronics are strong but the starter doesn't turn and the solenoid doesn't click or anything i checked all of the connections and they're fine

Exact same thing happened to me. It's the starter solnoid, however, I just bought a brand new AC Delco from Autozone for 15$ (with the core trade in value from your current starter). IMO, not worth it to pull off the starter and tinker with it when you can put a brand new one on for that price. It's funny because the previous owner tried everything else (removing alarm system and remote start system, cleaning the brushes on the solnoid, checking voltage, etc) to no avail, and all I did was just go to the obvious culprit and took care of it 15$ and an hour later.
