95 isuzu rodeo

My 95 rodeo is an automatic, v6 with 80000 miles on it. It is not starting. It will click each time the key is turned but will not start until I turn the key several times. I was told by local parts store that it could be the starter or the starter relay. My husband told me maybe it is the solenoid but I cannot even find a solenoid in the manual. Where is the relay? Is there a solenoid? and how can I figure out which of these parts needs replaced?
minimal mechanically knowledge here but my husband knows a bit but most of his experience has been with older vehicles.

Tap on the starter body with a hammer. If the vehicle now starts, bad starter. Replace it with a rebuilt. Make sure your connections are good and tight and free of corrosion.
