Ford Repair: car wont start, side firewall, ford taurus

Question
i need help with a ford taurus 1993 went to start car but i get nothing battery is charged lights work and all could it be the stater or something else please help if you can

Answer
Kari,

When you say you get nothing I will have to assume that you mean when you get the key nothing happens. You need to check your batter cables as well as the battery terminals. You battery should have at least 12. 4 volts (vehicle off). Check the cable going from the battery to the starter, making sure that it is in good condition and not corroded or damaged. Also, check the wires going to your starter solinoid, which should be mounted on the passenger side firewall. If all that is good, check your ignition switch. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope that this helps and good luck.
