Default 91 Caravan 3.0 litre No Start

Hi everyone, my problem is a no start situation. When i turn the key to start, the regular start up lights come on but does not turn over.
and there is no clicking.
My battery is good and when i turn my lights on while starting the van, the lights do not dim.

Any help would be appriciated

thanks ricio

I would be guessing a starter.Try hitting the starter with a small hammer and have someone trying to start.If start,then you know what you need.You can also try to turn the engine by hand, to may sure the engine is not locked up.

Using a socket and a ratchet and turn the engine.
