try tapping on the starter while someone else cranks the key, if it starts then it's the starter. I could be a fuse...

Do you have any type of security system? This sounds stupid but when I bought my car, I didn't know about the after market alarm that was put on it. My car won't start if you hit a certain thing on the clicker even if you turn the key. I thought it was the starter so I jacked up the ride one day and tapped it with no luck. I ended up having to tow my car only to find out I needed to push a couple buttons.

Need to know if the security lights on or not

If it is try wiping your key with rubbing alcohol really good and then trying it again.
That happened to me in the SS about a year go
