If not power issue then possibly connection issue at card reader,just pulls out and clean and grease the connector it,s common on these.

You can clean card reader without taking it out by using a vac / hoover attachment which gets dirt or fluff out which is quite common.

Check power to starter motor solenoid with a test light or multimeter if getting power then fault lies with starter motor ,assuming earth is okay from battery to chassis and chassis to engine.If okay remove starter and check with set of jump leads to see what the issue is.

Have you cleaned the connector and tried it ,as I have had a few with this problem and cleaning greasing the actual connector plug usually resolves the issue.
