The way to go about this is to get a test light or a meter and check for voltage at key points. I would start at the starter and see if it gets voltage when you turn the key. Also a good place to start is the battery. A bad connection or a bad battery can cause these symptoms. Take the battery out and have it tested and charged so you know at least that is good. If the battery is over 5 years old it is suspect as are all of the "big" connections.
