Did you test your battery? It may have enough to run your accessories but not enough for the starter. The starter is doing nothing? Not even cranking? Possibly starter solenoid. If the starter isn't even turning the only things I can think are Battery, Starter or Starter Solenoid. Hopefully someone that knows more than I do will chime in. Good luck.

I am betting the battery is the problem... or it's a bad ground on the starter....

see if you have 12 volts to trigger wire .small wire at starter while in crank position if there is power there you most likely need a starter
