My two cents,

Alot of times Ive seen this problem is due to not just a dead battery but one that is low on water.

Try topping off the water charge/jump the battery and let run for a bit.
good luck.
 






I had 2 Exploreres this month doing the same thing and ended up being the starter on both. 2 starters in one month, ouch!
 






Before replacing any parts, I would test the battery, then check all the connections (especially grounds). Try a boost, and service the battery, if it needs it. If the battery is low on water, you must use distilled water, don't add more acid. Also, you can't service a maintenance free battery.
 












Check battery cables for corrision. They can corrode from the inside out. You can also run a jumper directly from the hot side of the battery to the starter to see if it engages. If it does, then the problem is not the starter or the battery.
