The theft deterrent relay is in the passenger footwell area and enables the ignition circuit. It's possible the relay is the problem. Part of the troubleshooting procedure is to disconnect the relay and short the contacts for the ignition circuit to bypass it.
If you access the passenger footwell compartment, there will be 3 relays directly above the BCM. The theft deterrent relay is the third on (on the far right). To bypass the relay you need to jumper pins C1 (red) to A2 (Purple).
Note - this is from a 2000 service manual.

Just had to replace a starter on mine. Check for 12v. at the solenoid terminal (smaller diameter wire) when you turn the key to start. This is on the same track as jumping the TDR, but is a bit more definitive. If you've got a good battery and voltage to the solenoid, it's probably time for a starter. Make sure the battery and starter connections are tight first.
