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.

How the starter motor works?
Electric current from the battery spins the starter motor over, the starter gear on the end of the motor shaft spins around and forward about an inch to engage the gearing on the rim of the flywheel. This turns and when speed is up it throws the starter gear back to it's rest position.
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.
Two functions of a solenoid fitted to a pre engaged starter motor?

Why do cars start when you turn the key?
The ignition lock has several positions; Off/locked, off, accessory, on, and start. The start position is what is called a 'momentary' switch, in that it will not stay in that position. When holding the key in the 'start' position, the battery sends current to the solenoid, which switches the current to the starter motor. When the starter motor is energized, the solenoid pushes the gear on the starter motor shaft forward to engage the ring gear on the flywheel of the engine, allowing the starter motor to turn the crankshaft. On Ford vehicles, the solenoid only switches the current to the starter motor, and the motor spinning throws a gear forward to engage the ring gear. In either case, turning the key energizes the starter motor, which turns the engine over.
Why doesn't my starter engage?
Assuming the starter motor spins but doesn't engage to turn engine over to start you could have a bad starter drive which is part of the starter assembly or possibly damaged/missing teeth on flywheel ring gear. Depending on year and model vehicle, some starters you can replace just the starter drive otherwise you need to replace the whole starter.
