Get a volt meter and make confirm there is power going to the starter. If your solenoid is starting to go out, you can usually tap that part with a hammer. If there's power going to the starter and its doing nothing, its probably time for a new starter.

Do you even hear the solenoid tap?, could just be a loose/burnt wire...
