If you have the starter out of the car, there are many auto parts stores that will test them for you for free. They know that if it is bad, you will probably purchase a new one there.
Testing them yourself can be dangerous because of the torque involved and electricity.
Problem with the starter. Possibly locked up, or shorted out. Remove and test the starter.

To replace the dome light bulb in a 2004 Ford Taurus, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry off the light cover from the ceiling. Once the cover is removed, take out the old bulb by pulling it straight out of the socket. Finally, insert the new bulb, replace the cover, and test the light to ensure it's working properly.
Not that hard, it's located on the back side of the motor. Make sure it's the starter. You can test it with a remote starter. My car has the problem with the ignition, because it started when I hooked up the remote.
Make sure truck is in neutral jump across small (trigger) terminal and cable that runs to starter if vehicle "turns over" relay is bad
Have the coolant system pressure tested, the pressure test will increase the coolant leak.
I'm not a fan of Ford, personally, but Ford has really upped their game in the past few years, and the quality of their vehicles is much better now. The sixth generation Taurus gets good reviews, has a good power-to-weight ratio, and gets excellent crash test safety ratings. But remember, a car can only be as good as how it's maintained.
Usually you can bang on the starter with a hammer when it doesnt want to start and that will do the trick. It will engage and the car will start. If that is the case then the problem is the starter itself and not the solenoid. You can also remove both and take it into any Kragens or autozone and they will bench test it for free and tell you. You can also use the screw drive method by bypassing the solenoid and applying power directly to the started by laying it across the 2 terminals. if it starts then the solenoid is the problem assuming you have power to it.
