Have the starter tested at your auto parts store. Sounds like a bad solenoid or bad starter.
your battery is flat Could be that your starter is dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. That's a good thing that it is at least clicking. Replace the starter.
Usually, the solenoid is mounted on the firewall just above the battery. It has to screw ends and bolts sticking out of it. There is a thin wire that runs from the solenoid to the positive (red) side of the battery.
To connect the starter solenoid to the battery on a 1993 Ford Tempo, first, connect the positive terminal of the battery to the solenoid's battery terminal (usually marked with "B" or "+"). Then, connect the starter motor terminal (marked "S") on the solenoid to the starter motor. Additionally, ensure that the solenoid is grounded properly by connecting it to the vehicle’s chassis. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise wiring details and safety precautions.

The solenoid could be bad. A loose wire, ground, or the switch itself is bad.
1994 was the last year the Tempo was made. You blew a fuse.
If your 1997 Ford Crown Victoria clicks when trying to start, it often indicates an issue with the battery or the starter. The clicking sound usually means the starter motor is not engaging properly, which could be due to a weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty starter solenoid. First, check the battery charge and connections; if those are good, the starter may need to be tested or replaced.
Ford Tempo was created in 1984.
Should be on the passenger inner fender. Start at the battery and follow the positive cable. First thing you come to is the solenoid.
