Car won't start NO POWER

My thoughts: After checking the battery (yours is good) and of course cleaning the battery posts and cable connectors, the next step I recommend is removing the starter and having it checked to determine if is is still good. I removed a starter from a 1998 Ford Escort I 'inherited' and took it to an auto parts store (Autozone or O'Reilly's). It was tested and found to be shot. There is no charge for the testing. Next, I removed a starter from a '98 Escort at a car 'junk yard' (Pull and Save) and had that one tested. It is good. So I installed it in my car. I have more to do on my car b/c it has not been operating for a couple of years. But, I know the battery and starter are not the problems. Have your's checked---the starter may be bad. And it is a cheap fix! Especially if u recover a used one.

I have 98 ford Taurus it won't start but my lights work and radio we gave it a jump it still wont work what can the problem be
