What is wrong if a 1992 Ford Escort wagon won't start even after a battery change and only the outside lights work?

POSSIBILITIES ARE; VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR BARE OR DISCONNECTED GROUND WIRE TO THE STARTER. WATER AND SNOW WILL CAUSE THESE BARE SPOTS TO SHORT THE CURRENT TO GROUND OR ELSWHERE. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING A WIRING SCHEMATIC FROM THE LOCAL LIBRARY OR PURCHASE A CHILTONS BOOK. WIRING PROBLEMS CAN BE SIMPLE OR UNTRACEABLE AT TIMES. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER SOLVED A TAIL LIGHT SHORTING OUT. THE MANUAL AND SCHEMATIC WILL HELP YOU NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK!

The lights and radio come on but the car won't start. What's wrong?
-- battery -- battery cable -- connection between battery cable and battery A fault in any of these would still supply the small current used by the lights and radio, but not the huge battery current required for starting.
ATV won't start even when I jump it. Who can give suggestion?
I have a 1994 Polaris 4x4 with a battery that is about 9 months old and it won't start. I can hear the cylinoid clicking which is next to the battery. I have tried to jump the battery, but have no change in the results. The lights seem nice and bright so I don't think the battery is dead. I am leaning towards a starter problem, is this correct?
If my car won't start and the lights are not coming on but it can be jumped off what may be my problem?
The battery is dieing down and you should go and get a new battery or get your battery charged
Your 94 Ford escort lx 1.9l wont start but all the lights on dash and radio come on is your starter out or if not what could be wrong?
Actually, if the battery is bad it will click or turn over very slowly. If all the electronics work and there is no noise, it is the starter. Take a small hammer and tap very lightly on the starter (sometimes there is a label on the starter, aim there). This is only tempary and you will eventually need to replace the unit. i had this same problem with my ford fiesta the lights and radio still worked but it did not make another sound. it just needs a new battery. hope this is helpfull
Car will not start but all your gauge lights are flickering?
Could be a battery problem, discharged, dead or dirty/loose battery connections.

Why won't your 2002 escort zx2 start with a new battery No lights will come on no power at all?
Have you tested the battery to see if it has power in it? If it has have you made sure the contacts are good? If they are is there a fuse that has blown.

Wrong page.
What would keep your blazer from starting when it is cold outside?
A Low battery could cause this - try getting a jump from someone,when it is cold the battery will, if they are low sometimes, not have the cranking power needed to turn over a cold engine. To test if your battery is low turn on your lights if the lights are dim then it is your battery.
If there is a blown fuse on a 1995 Ford Escort for the dashboard lights but the fuses are labeled for things not on this car which fuse is correct to change?
check the fuse for the tail lights, usually they are inter-connected.
Why do the lights flash on my 95 Honda Accord when i replaced the battery outside lights as well as all the dash lights?
I dont have an answer but I am having the same problem. My car wouldn't start but when I turned the key, the lights (hazard and dash lights) started blinking. I think it's a warning that the battery is not completely connected. We tightened the clamps (which were very loose) and it stopped.

Either the brake light switch or on brake pedal there is a button that pushes the switch and it fell out.

I have a 91 escort Gt that the lights won't come on and the engine will not crank over but the battery is fully charged and the starter is checked ok by auto zone.?
Sounds like a connection problem from the battery to the car. Easiest way to find out is to get a jump start from another car, if it works then it's the battery, if not then is either the battery cable or an alarm/immobiliser that is still armed.
