    I managed to charge the battery yesterday and put it back in the car. All accessories seem to work, but the car can't crank

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    I believe the previous owner got that battery, so I'm not 100% sure, but it looks very new. There wasn't much dirt, grime, or corrosion

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    The biggest issue for me (which might have led to your assumption above) is that my parents are the ones who would be buying any tools or parts needed to fix this thing, so I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to go about it. I of course realize that there's no perfect path to go...

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    Noted. The battery in the car is a "Napa Legend." Any idea if that's the correct type?

    Well the thing is, both of those options won't work at all without a jump or without first charging the battery. (Lights and cranking it)

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    Lol! I didn't like the other cars. I really do want to get this one fixed up though because I like most aspects of it

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    Lol, if only I had much of a choice. My parents bought a few used cars at an auction but my siblings kinda claimed all but the Lincoln

    2002 Lincoln LS - Won't start

    Very detailed, thank you. Ok, so if I wanted to do all of this myself, what supplies will I need? Assume that I lack even the basic tools required to take the battery out and stuff like that because I probably don't

    Wow, you're very thorough. I really appreciate it. So first step is to check the battery's ground wire. If that checks out, move on the the alternator?
