Alright, Hi, I'm new to the forum. I personaly drive a 2001 Pontaic Sunfire GT, but my parents all drive Ford, and I probably would have bought a Focus, but that blue Sunfire called to me.

But I digress, to my question, my parents own a 2002 Ford Thunderbird, and it doesn't get driven as much as it should, but the battery seems to die when it has been sitting for any time more than a week. Now, my dad and I were planning on washing it up and putting a new car cover on it. So we were jumping the car, following all the directions, and after about 5 minutes, my dad tried to start the T-Bird up. Well, he put the the key in, and all the electronics started like they were supposed to, but when he attempted to auctually start the car, there was a loud click and it went dead. And by dead, I mean no spark at all, that car was done.

Now, I figure it is a blown fuse, or something along those lines, what do you guys think, and what would you recommend

 

Clean up the battery post, and check all the fuses. Also check for any blown fusable links at or near the starter soleniod.
