I did not suggest the starter in his case because he is not hearing the solenoid click. I am assuming that he is not getting +12 to the solenoid coil or the solenoid coil is going bad.
Isn't remote diagnosis fun? It is all a guessing game.

No suggestions but an anecdote...
After gassing up my Dakota, ignition gave one click, then nothing. Same again. I turned the wheel, shifted back and forth to Park, put my foot on the brake and when I turned the key again, it started right up.
Happened again a week or so later with same result. Week or so later, happened again but this time it took more of the turning, shifting procedure to work, Started happening more frequently, and more difficulty to start. As my mechanic just started his vacation, I stopped by an Auto Electric shop I know, and asked them to test the alternator. Alt and battery both tested good, and he suggested it might be the neutral safety switch.
During mech's vacation, one morning it wouldn't start at all. I did check around the internet and neutral safety switch did look like a good possibility. Taking stock of my mechanical skills, I wisely decided to not try replacing it myself. Upon his return, one morning I did get it started and drove it to his shop. I imparted my wisdom of likely neutral safety switch and left him to it. He called later, said it was the starter, replaced it and I haven't had an issue since.
