Make sure your battery is good before looking elsewhere. Once checked then go from there. Check your solinoid, if all rusty on the outside chance it could be there as it was a bad part

like mentioned check battery and if dead charge it first and then maybe check contacts on the push button as they can get dirty or corrode over time. check all connectins from battery to starter,though the solenoide to make sure the same as connections goes.

My wife's 500 is doing the same thing.. or was. it was the fuses not getting a good connection, I pulled them all and di-electric greased them all and now is fine.
