If you taped on the starter and it worked, sounds like a problem with the starter. Take it out and have it tested.

I have a problem in my 03 matrix and when we start it the starter does not click and when we try to put positive into the starter it’s starting but doesn’t turn on so I’m thinking it’s an electrical problem
