We need a lot more information please. What do you mean going direct?

Vehicle History?
Any Previous Symptoms?
Any Codes?
Completed Diagnostic Steps?

If you applied power directly to the starter or the relay and it started to crank than I am assuming you have good connections at the battery and that the battery is strong enough. Is this what you did?

Does the Check Engine light come on when you turn the key to the ON position? What does the interior light do (dome lights) when trying to start the car, do they stay nice a bright or get very very dim? Just another quick verification test.

There are steps to take but until we get a tid bit more information its hard to move forward.

Confirm what it's not, and fix what it is!

Like graywave stated, we need way more information.

But, in addition to what graywave said, ensure that the alarm/security system is not causing your issue.

When you turn the key, do lights and all come on?
