At the starter motor, two voltage circuits, one comes from the battery, hot all the time. The other voltage circuit goes hot with the key in the crank position and is wired through the neutral switch. The ground for the starter motor is through engine block, grounds are important.
Power will run from your ignition switch to neutral start switch on automatics, or clutch safety switch on manual transmissions. Those items, along with a starter relay, are all wired into your starting circuit, the start wire going to the starter solenoid on the starter. Of course, make sure your battery is fully charged. Use a multimeter and verify you have 12 volts to the big cable end on the starter. Now see if any power is on at starter solenoid terminal, with key in cranking position. If is power, remove starter and repair. If no power when key is in crank position, you'll have to trace your ignition starting circuit back to your ignition switch. can be a hassle, but, persistence pays off. BTW, when key is on, your dash lites do come on, don't they? Asking because that verifies you have power to ignition switch.
based on what I see in the ford electrical manual. The ignition switch is the only thing the windows, wipers and heat have in common. I would test for power at the black and red wire with the key on. If there is no power I would replace the switch.
the hose may be clogged. you can unhook the hose from your window wash tank and wiper and try blowing it out. or just replace if you can't. very cheap. check the fuse also.
Lights dimming a good clue, that means that there is power going to the solonoid but starter moter wont turn. Check all battery connections and starter connections Make sure battery has enough power to turn starter or try jumper cablea.
Sometimes the starter gets jambed up due to poor lube on the bendix. try hitting the housing with a hammer. You can take the starter out and bench rebuild or just replace it its not a hard job,
