My 2008 Mercury Mariner did the same thing, the issue ended up being the ignition switch, and the ignition lock module housing. I know this isn't a definitive answer to your question, but maybe it'll help get you going in the right direction. Good luck!

Sounds to me like your battery may just need a blast, especially if it's any colder than it was before starter went out. If this isn't the problem I would recommend after charging the battery, if nothing happens then move on to the fuses and relaya
