Dude,

Seriously, and I'm only saying this to help you even though it will start a war, but if you want people to read your post you need to add a bit of grammar and structure to your writing.

I gave up half-way into the first line.

If it no longer cranks on the key that suggests either a ignition switch issue or a starter motor problem.

You can check the starter by running a cable direct from the battery + terminal to the small cable on the starter. Fix the cable to the starter and touch it onto the battery terminal (do not do it the other way as the cable could short)
If the starter just clicks then it suggests a starter problem. If the starter runs a issue with ignition switch
