It can be the solonoid or the starter itself. TAke it to a garage and have it checked out.
I have the same problem in my Explorer Sport. It could be your Anti-Theft immobilizer. Somehow my keys unprogrammed themselves, which didnt match the code in the ignition, therefore the car would not start. If a mechanic cannot fix the problem, call a locksmith.

Double check the battery cables at the battery and at the engine, be sure they are clean and tight.
Is starter working?
If a 94 Thunderbird starter will not turn over, the battery may be dead. The battery should be charged with jumper cables.

Follow the + battery cable should connect to the starter solenoid (relay) either at the top of starter or at the inner fender perhaps under battery
No. You need a good battery for the voltage and amperage to operate the starter.
