No crank
Ok it's not truck related but Ford related, don't know were else to turn. My sister has the '01 taurus that I used to own. Could a bad alternator cause a no crank situation ? Replaced starter with no effect, checked all fuses and relays under the hood, all ok. Anyone have an idea? Thanks.

No turning over, makes me think of a interlock switch somewhere. Or I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Probably on the right track. Not familiar with that vehicle, but there usually is an adjustable switch somewhere on the shift linkage. You said that you checked the relays. Were they getting activated? Will it crank if you jump across the relay?

If it is an auto move the shifter up and down through the gears with your foot on the brake. It may make contact and start.

Is there not a starter relay mounted on one of the fender wells? Probably the one closest to the battery. If the battery is charged try jumping the 2 large posts on the relay and see if it turns over. If you want it to start and you are lucky, have the key on when you try this but make sure it is in park first.
