my 1990 ford Taurus won't start Sign In

My 1990 ford Taurus that has been stored in the garage for a year I changed the battery due to it being dead. When I try to start it nothing happens only the fuel pump comes on. Could this be a bad starter

Does power make it to trigger wire at the starter motor? Just a test light test. If so give starter a love tap and see if it snaps to working. Otherwise inconclusive and find out why starter isn't being triggered - any theft controls? Make sure it's not alarmed not to run if so.


Is new battery charged and ready to go or just another battery?

Why has it been sitting for so long? Does it have an aftermarket alarm system? Do the warning indicators prove out? Headlamps work?
