jump the 2 large posts on the starter solenoid. If it turns over, replace it. if not, jump the starter directly from the battery and if nothing happens, replace the starter.
Since you have no power to the ignition switch( you can't get the key out). Look to the main fuses first. You can see them threw the top. If the solder joint isn't shiny, pull them first. Since it did start and run, it isn't the ignition switch. Wiring most likely in place. Fuse panel could be bad. I've replaced a lot of them. But not with out diagnostics.
Try to charge the battery fully or get the battery load tested, clean all battery connections and try again. If this does not work the starter solenoid or starter may need to be replaced or repaired.
to replace the starter:
1. disconnect the neg. battery cable
2. jack up the car and support with stands (safety first!!)
3. starter is located one the front of the engine
4.mark wiring with a lil paint, (anything) so you know how to put them back on
5. 2 bolts, and it's out!
reverse procedure to install
note: if the car has a remote start, when reconnect the battery cable, starter may engage. have key fob (remote) in hand, to disable the system.
