If the engine is running hot , the new thermostat was a good idea ! also , it could be
your water pump ( when the engine is warmed up and the thermostat is open so the
top radiator hose is warm , squeeze the top radiator hose and then stop squeezing ,
you should feel a surge of coolant going through the hose if your water pump is
working , BE CAREFULL THAT YOU DON"T STICK YOUR FINGERS IN A BELT OR THE FAN )
also , the radiator could be restricted - a cooling system flush might be in order
How's the radiator front , does it look clean or are there lots of bugs stuck to it ?
I assume the coolant isn't low and your belts are fine , and your temperature gauge
is working properly ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician , those are just the things I
thought of )
3 reasons either the starter is not getting power from the solenoid, solenoid is not getting power from the battery or starter is burned up.
Try getting a jump start. Could be a bad battery. If your battery is good, then you will need to get a new starter. It may be the Starter or the battery make be dead,
The most important consideration when purchasing a jump starter is power. How much power is the jump starter getting to the battery? Many manufacturers only offer battery booster packs that have only 900 peak amps and maybe 200 cranking amps.
Right in front of the oil pan (2.8l) Disconnect the battery before getting a wrench close to the starter. The starter has a HOT battery cable runnign directly to it. Shorting this to the frame with a wrench might start a fire, blow up your battery, or both.

If the lights in the car come on, then at least part of the system is getting power. Check the battery connections again. Then check the starter solenoid and starter to insure that they are getting power and are working properly.
There is no battery in the starter.
maybe juice is not getting to the starter, check starter connections and also check the battery ground wire(Neg), they can get loose
follow the battery + cable from the battery down to the starter post. There you will find a starter.
the starter isn't getting power or the battery is dead. do some tracing of the power and see where it isn't getting juice
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.
Bad battery, bad solenoid, bad cables.
