Check The engine compartment The fender wells firewall exc . When you find it take a screw driver with a rubber handle and place between posts it may start.
There will be a few places with fuseible links, first on the postive battery cable and next at the connection for the firewall mount starter solenoid and last at starter depending on starter type, if this is a single cable stater then no links at starter and also at alternator. these are all locations of links. all depending on what the problem is,hope this helps.
The starter is on the backside of the engine between the firewall and engine. If you get underneath it look up from the passenger side of the support that goes front to back and you should see it there. There are 2 bolts if i remember right one threads into the starter itself and the other has a nut behind the solenoid if I rmember right
STARTER SOLENOID IS ON STARTER.FORD ALSO HAD STARTER RELAY SWITCH ON BACK FIREWALL.FOLLOW THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE IT WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO STARTER SOLENOID OR RELAY.
I would suspect the starter solenoid has failed. A starter solenoid (or starter relay) is the part of an automobile which relays a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion. In many vehicles the solenoid also engages the starter pinion with the ring gear of the engine. The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion. The starter motor is an electric motor that initiates piston motion in a car's internal combustion engine before it can power itself.
