One easy way to tell were to start is if you turn the key now, do idiot lights on the gauges light up and will the head lights turn on. If yes then it is not the ignition, if no then you have a wire problem.You can test the ignition switch by unplugging it then use a multi-meter to see if you are getting current through the switch when you turn the key to on. Same thing really for the start button. From there I would start looking at the starter solenoid and the starter motor. Having the manual will help out with this as it contains a section for trouble shooting the electrical system. There are a few relays and other components that need to work for everything to crank up.
