Same thing happened to my 94. Turn your ignition to the on position and take a screwdriver and bridge the two terminals together on the starter. If it turns over it needs a new ignition switch. Good luck on that. They are a pain to replace.
I don't own a 95 ford escort. But if I did, and the motor turned over but would not start, I'd look at either the ignition module or fuel pump first.
I had to do this once. Look behind the engine by the firewall, you will see the starter, you will see a big wire and a small wire, unplug the small wire from the starter, get yourself a long peice of electrical wire, wrap one end around the small terminal on the starter, then turn the ignition on, then touch the other end on the positive battery cable then the engine should turn over, if it doesnt then you need a new starter.If it does most likely you need a new ignition switch or relay.
There is no starter relay on an Escort. The main battery positive cable goes directly to the starter. A small wire with a clip on it marked s goes to the solenoid. The main battery current to the starter is supplied with this solenoid.
needs either a new ignition switch or a new starter solenoid
92 Escorts are known for having a bad ignition switch. When trying to start the starter won't quit after you release the key from start to run position. Replace the ignition switch.
Bad starter Bad battery Bad connection on battery cables. Faulty ignition switch
If the battery is good and fully charged but the engine will not turn over then either the starter or the ignition switch is defective. Or you have a loose or corroded connection.

Things to check are: ignition switch, manual lever position switch, ignition relay, your starter, and last, your battery. Check all wires, cables and connections for condition and cleanliness.

+ battery cable should be connected to relay
Check for loose or corroded battery cables Bad starter solenoid? Bad starter? Seized engine? Bad neutral safety or clutch safety switch? Ignition Switch?
I have a 1996 ford escort that will not start and it has a new starter on it and a new battery in it but it still will not start
Should be at the lower rear end of the engine - follow the + battery cable
Bad battery, starter, cables or switch.
The Escort doesn't have a starter relay. It has a solenoid on the starter that handles the heavy amperage.
Disconnect the battery, which you should do anyway when replacing an ignition. There will then be no danger of it inflating.
