    Make sure your battery is fully charged and then check out your starter solenoid/starter motor.

    The starter solenoid is attached to the starter motor. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before touching the solenoid or starter terminals. Try hitting the solenoid with a mallot and see if the starter motor works afterwards. It also could be corrosion on the solenoid's terminals. Clean terminals and spray with WD-40. Just check everything out.
