Possible the Alternator. Do you have a battery tester or Multimeter? Check the voltage of the battery after you have charged to make sure it is getting a charge and holding it. If you're not getting 12V after the charge then you battery is no good.

If you have an auto trans you can bypass the starter relay and ignition for a quick test.
Transmission in Park, parking brake on. Arc across the Main lead where it connects to the starter and to the starter solenoid positive post. If you have a good battery, and if the starter and starter solenoid are good, it will crank.

try tapping the starter solenoid with a hammer and then see if it cranks some times moister gets in there and it rusts up.

Dude, you make sure the tranny is in park so that you don't run over yourself jumping the starter.

this could be a multitude of things, first start off with the easy to check items. Make sure that your GROUND is good on the battery as well as the ground cable itself. This is a VERY common item that gets corroded and will cause a no start issue. Next as was stated above check to see if you can arc the starter. If it arcs/turns over, you have eliminated the starter as being the problem. You can also try starting it in neutral to see if that eliminates the neutral safety switch as the problem. Check these few items and get back with us.
