Starter Solenoid's are intermitent at times, if your lights gone on the dsh and you get nada when the key is turend I would consider either the igntion switch, and or/the strater solenoid.

If you are not a wrench,let seomone check it out for you. to bad your's is a Tip because you could bump it to start when it does not turn over.

If you could get to the starter which is on top of the motor, you may be able to do an old trick and tap the starter with either a rod or a hammer. Tap not pound and see if it starts. Sometimes the solenoid becomes dislodged and fires up the motor. That is a dead give away for a bad starter.
