96 Ford Windstar won't start, what should I check?
I just charged the battery, which was completely dead, and cleaned the terminals and clamps. When I turn the key the dash lights come on as normal, but it is completely dead. The starter solenoid does not even I plan to clean the starter terminal and the starter end of the + cable, I also plan to have the battery load checked at the auto parts store. But if the solenoid does not even pull in I think something else could be wrong. I need some pointers.

Jump the starter solenoid small wire to the large cable with a screwdriver to see if the starter works.
Check if there's 12V on the battery terminal of the solenoid and ignition terminal of the solenoid when cranking. Check for a good starter/body ground. Put the shifter in Neutral. Swap the start relay Could be a bad starter, bad fusible link, bad start relay, bad ignition switch, bad park/neutral switch, bad connectors, bad wires. Use a DVOM or test light and find the evidence. Do not guess.
- Will a 2000 Ford Windstar lx fuse box diagram be the same as a 2003 Ford Windstar fuse box? I found a link about a 2003 but I need to know if it'll be the same for a 2000. If it ain't can anyone help me out with a link showing information like this but about a 2000 model? Thanks. http://www.fixya.com/cars/t11808484-2003_ford_windstar_fuse_box_diagram
- Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
- I have a 2000 Ford Windstar that won't start. When I turn the key all I hear is a clunk noise? Battery good, starter good, cables good, fuel system good. No indication before hand that anything was going bad. One morning just went to start and NOTHING.
- Car won't start even with jump start? I have a Ford Escort 2001. I checked the battery at Auto Zone, told me it was fine and had charge. The alternator is also good. The starter is also fine. When I turn the key there's no clicks. The lights on the dashboard stay on. Does anyone know what it could be? I've also checked the cables and connections.
