I checked your other questions.
One thing I noticed was the lack of answers to your question, and not very good ones either.
If this is an automatic transmission, there is a neutral safety switch that only alows the starter to engage when the transmission is in "park" or "neutral".
Unfortunately for you, I don't know where it is on your car.
But, more than likely, that's your problem.
Try starting your car in neutral, drive, reverse,...
If that does nothing, then doublecheck your fuses.
Troubleshooting electrical faults is a real bittch.
Ask again in "Maintenance and Repairs" where the "neutral safety switch is, Hopefully someone else will know.

When you hotwire a car connect the blue and red wires, aka postive and negative, its hidden near the computer. You dont turn the key once you connect the two wires it automatically starts, problem is you cant turn it off.

them cars have a factory alarm, I would have the dealer check to see if it is functioning properly.
Theoretically you can start the car by hopping power from 12 volts to acc & ignition wires , then a simple ark to your starter wire, but with today's technology the factory alarms prevent that from happening.
