It might have something to do with your battery connections, (Wires, solenoid, etc)
If your saying the starter motor won't crank the engine? I agree with the other person about the connections. Note the diagram. The starter relay, unplug the relay, use jumper wire between switch side cavities, 30 and 87, The starter motor should crank the engine. If you try that, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. If it does crank with the jumper, problem should be on control side of relay. The relay has two sides, control side, right side in the picture. Switch side, left side in the picture. The control side needs voltage and ground. Note ignition switch, crank position--that fuse--neutral switch for control side of relay. Maybe a problem with neutral switch/tranny range sensor? I don't believe the security system controls starter motor for that model year, so it shouldn't effect cranking.

My name is Daniel, I just had same exact problem with my Taurus....... So I did the jump test at relay! Thank you so much for your time on this forum. I just have one more question, if the car starts where would my problem be?
