When you turn the key to ON, you should hear some relays click (these sounds 
come from within the passenger compartment) and see the dask lights come on, 
then when you turn it further, to START, you might hear a "clunk" from the 
starter solenoid (which is outside, and further back under the car) and you 
might notice that the dash lights dimmed.

Do you see/hear any of this?
