Answer
Hello,

You need to start somewhere.
Take a test light and place on solenoid wire at starter. Have someone turn ignition to start. If test light lights, you need a starter. If not, you need to look farther.
You will find a harness of numerous wires leading to starter. Pull on each one. If one feels rubbery, you have a burned out fusible link. Fusible link comes in a roll and can be purchased at an auto parts store.
The next thing you will have to do if no power is going to starter solenoid is check the electrical ignition switch (not the lock/key cylinder). You need to see f you have power at the electrical switch when ignition lock put in start position.

As for your driver's door wiring, that should be a separate issue, and could possibly be broken wiring at the door boot (pinch point where wires run from door to pillar and inside vehicle. The window is protected with a circuit breaker while the switches are protected with a fuse (2 different circuits). Make sure you find all the fuse boxes as listed in the owners manual.
