If you can reach the contacts on the starter, put a test meter on it to see if it's getting voltage. If not, check the starter cut relay in the under-dash fuse box.

I don't know how it works on automatics and don't have my service manual handy, but there might be a safety interlock switch on the brake pedal (or possibly sharing the brake light switch) that if malfunctioning could interrupt the starter circuit.

It's always good to check cheap and easy things first. But statistically (based on the small EOC sample) it's probably the starter.
