Check the leads to the starter and also if the battery has a full charge (should be around 12.4 volts). There may be a short in the wiring, fried starter solenoid or a wiring issue.

There are several reasons why a Mercury Sable may not start. Some of the reasons are no gas, a bad battery, or a bad starter.
Any place that sells batteries can supply you with the correct size battery for your vehicle.
My limited knowledge tells me it may be the soleniod(sp?) or alternator. When my 87 Sable had that prob my friend get underneath the hood and 1)I turned the key in the ignition and held it engaged. 2)He tapped the alternator w/ a hammer. This allowed the clicking sound to happen. If I recall correctly, the clicking sound while knocking the alt meant the alt was bad. If no clicking happens when knocking the alt then the soleniod is bad. The soleniod is a lot easier to replace so hope it's that. I accept no responsibility if something breaks or this only makes the prob worse :)
The ground is negative
