Dodge Ram Starter Problem

My 1996 Dodge 1500 4x4 started up fine an has been until I turned it off, Now the motor wont crank over at all. The batttery is over 3 yr old an the starter I changed in April of 2004 at 55oo miles. Could it be the starter again or a fuseab;e link? If a fuseable link where is it? Thank you Randy

What are the symptoms? Do you hear a single light click from the starter relay? A single loud clunk from the starter? What happens to the brightness of the head lights or dome light when you turn the ignition switch to "crank"? Measure the battery voltage and tell me what you find.
