Swap out the starter relay with another identical rely in under hood fuse box. If the other relay works, time for a new relay. Before you swap the relay, hold the key in the crank position while someone knocks the starter body (down by the transmission) with a lug tool or hammer. If the starter jumps to life, then it's most likely the starter and if so, most likely the starter solenoid. I replaced the contacts in mine (Dakota) a while back and it's been working great ever since.
