If there's nothing wrong with the starter itself, there's a 99% chance it's the starter relay (located on the passenger/front side of the engine bay, mounted on the fender behind the battery). It's a square part with a few wires attached. I don't think many auto parts stores can test this to see if it works, but if I recall, it's a pretty inexpensive part (had to replace it on my 87 Grand Marquis). Good luck.

Why do my '93 ltd crown Victoria not start but only clicks when you turn the key over?

It means either you have a bad connection to the starter (dirty cables, wires, etc) or that you have a bad starter motor. The click is actually the starter solenoid kicking the starter drive into position, but the starter motor either is not getting the juice required to turn the engine over or is shorted and not allowing the starter to turn. Either way, the problem is in the starter motor circuit. You're best bet is to clean ALL electrical connections between the battery and starter. If that doesn't work, you probably will need a new starter.
