What i forgot to say earlier is if it's auto, try holding the key in the start position and moving the gear lever through the entire range of movement (P to 1 and back again) several times and listen to see if the starter engages in N or P or tries to.
Could simply be a worn inhibitor switch or even just dirty contacts.
Still worth checking the exciter wire, if it's where it should be, not broken, clean and tight connection, give Ash's idea a try.
Also worth checking the relays are all pushed fully home in the electrical box behind the ashtray and/or under the bonnet depending on which model you've got - a loose start relay will also cause this problem.
