The car won't start. Replaced the battery, had the alternator and starter checked - both good. The lights come on on the dash, etc. But won't nothing else. Someone said to check the wires that go to the battery - any other suggestions? We don't know much about FORD. Thanks!

Hi:
I will assume the starter is not working. First, have a helper turn the key to the start position and check for 12 volts at the small wire on the starter.

Let me know what you find.
