I would check the battery first to see if it is good. If that is fine then check your cable connections.

What engine do you have? If a 4.2V6, pull the plugs, it may have a cylinder full of anti-freeze and getting ready to bend a rod.

Lxman does have a good point. also if you get past the point where you realize its not the coolant in cyl, then check the starter itself. get a hammer, have someone crak the motor and get under there and smak the starter. if it starts, then you need a starter.
