Year, model, engine???? Be a LOT easier to diagnose over the interwebs with this information.
But one thing is fairly universal: how good is your battery, and what condition are the battery terminals, cables and connections? I've had it happen on both my trucks, that the battery terminals were just loose enough that the dome light and key buzzer would work, but not tight enough for sufficient amperage to get down to the starter to make it activate and crank(this starting the truck). Also, there is a Crank fuse in the dashboard fuse block (I believe it's a 10amp red one) but IIRC if that's bad it won't crank either.
