First check would be the battery, and it's connections.

You could try to jump it, an easy way to confirm that the problem is the battery/charging system.

Maybe corrosion on the battery cables?

if you have a chilton/haynes manual there should be a guide for this exact problem, pg 2-12 "Starting System" in the chilton. If you don't have one I'd recommend getting one, they're only 25 bucks at oreillys or where ever it is you shop.
