I have just replaced the starter and engine does nothing. No Clicks or anything!
Is there a fuse or relay that controls the starter?

2002 Ford Thunderbird - Engine won't start

I assume you replaced the starter as a result of the car not starting and it didn't resolve the problem?
The Fuel pump is often the culprit of no starts too.

2002 T Bird fuel pump replacement.
My fuel pump looks like it is shot. Started car one day, ran for 10 seconds, then died. Fuse for fuel pump blew. Replaced fuse but no pump. Checked fuel pressure fitting under hood, and no pressure. Have opened up area behind seat to expose fuel pump area. Anyone have any hints on how to...

If no clicks or anything, sounds like you have no power going to the starter. I would recheck all your connections, it should make some noise.
Thank you Edward! I drove mine a month ago and all was fine... This week I went to drive it and it just coughed and refused to start. Visions of a flatbed truck and a huge repair bill flashed thru my mind. I saw your post and sure enough it was fuse #17.
Thanks again for your timely post!
So now the question is what caused the fuse to blow out?
I don't have any idea but I don't worry about it as long as I have my fingers taped in the crossed position....
Harry, I can "fix" that bad fuse with a pack of cigarettes (assuming they still come with foil on the inside)
ummmm... how many amps would that be?
