Default Need HELP !!! Car refuse to start.

i'm at work right now and i don't know what to do .I park the car and 5 min after it won't start.It looks like the alarm is still on or something but it doesn't make any noise.
everithing lights up , the battery is fine it just doesn't do anything.It won't connect the starter.car ran fine unlil now.Yesterday i replaced teh O2 sensors and put clear corners.I don't think it should have anything to do with this.
Where is the starter located?
can i just tap on it ?
i disconnected the battery and still nothing....it's like a "sleep mode"
great gift for my birthday!
any help is needed and wellcomed!
thanks!

I really don't want to scare or mislead you....I only talk of what has happened to me b4...

I had ignition switch problem...I got it replaced from an independent shop....now the guy did it and it worked well for a month....after that it started acting up again...I needed two to three tries b4 the car would start...

I went to him again with a new switch...now it worked for around 2 weeks and again started acting weird...

So finally I went to a guy who deals with VW and Audis...and he replaced the switch...This was 9-10 mnths ago.

Default i'll take it off and put it on again ...see if that changes anything

the switch goes into START position but the starter is not engaged ....doesn't make a noise,nothing
i'll give it a shot
let's say the switch is fine ,shouldn't i hear the starter at least trying to do something?
i don't know....
