Whenever a starter motor in any vehicle clicks it is telling you that it is not getting enough current.At this point I would probably replace the cables and make sure that the ground cable is attached to clean metal and grounded to the engine and a secondary cable is grounded from engine to the frame. Over time these connections corrode ,sometimes from the inside out. A starter motor generates around 20hp so they require a lot of current and will refuse to start when cables are not up to the job.

Your car will not turn overthe battery is strong and the alternator is working could the starter just need to be tapped or should you replace it It has never given any signs of going out?
Chances are the starter solenoid has developed a bad spot. If you are handy you could try to replace just the solenoid otherwise it may be time for the starter/solenoid combo.I assume you have checked your battery cables.

Why does the battery keep dying and the 3.0 engine on a 1997 Ford Aerostar have poor performance?
It sounds like you simply need to change the alternator. Easy test: if vehicle will start, carefully remove the ground/negative cable from the battery (may help to llosen slightly beforehand). If vehicle runs, turn on lights; if it still runs, the alternator is fine. All vehicles should run on alternator only. If the vehicle sputters and dies, the alternator is dead. Replace alternator, and VERY IMPORTANT, fully charge battery before engaging alternator. A weak battery can damage a new alternator causing alternator death.

Check fuses first. If fuses are good, check the voltage from the negative battery cable to where the wire bolts onto the back of the alternator. (With the engine running). If you can't reach the back of the alternator, then measure across the posts of the battery. Voltage should be about 14 volts DC. If lower than that, replace the alternator.
