Car will not starts at all

So for whatever reason my 13 frs won't start. I have two key fobs and both have new batteries and I'm able to turn the car into aux mode but won't turn over at all. The light is on in the dash showing the alarm is on even though the alarm is off (pressing the unlock on the fob) checked every fuse and they're all good to go. Lights, dome lights and all dash lights turn on just fine and battery is new too. I was on a deployment and didn't drive the car everyday so my dad would drive it once a week and car ran just fine but now it won't even do a damn thing. It's FI and Ive had no problems with the car whatsoever. Very frustrating and want to get to the bottom of this. Oh and the fob does unlock and lock the car.

Do you know what the voltage is on the car's battery is? When's the last time your father started it?

Is that a costly fix? I know the clutch switch is under the dash, was looking at it earlier but don't know where the park neutral switch is at

FI as in fuel injection or forced induction?

Do you hear a metallic click from the starter when turning the key? The stock pos Panasonic is krap. With just a .03 mine wouldn't start. Everything else worked 100% fine.

Get meter and check voltage. Make sure power is good, then fuses.

Did all do this already and everything is good. It's just a weird situation I'm in because everything checks out good yet the car just doesn't want to turn on.
