Infiniti I30 Starter Problem

My 1996 Infiniti I30 will not start. The dash lights come on, and the headlights turn, showing their normal brightness. When I turn the key to start the engine there is no noise (no crank, no click, nothing). Since the lights I mentioned work, I don't believe it is the battery. It has had trouble starting for a while, but now it seems to have hit its limit. I think it is probably the starter, but tell me what you guys think.

Thank You,
Aric

It could be the starter or ignition switch. Try tapping the starter with a hammer and if it clicks or cranks up, the starter is due for replacement.
