Ok guys there is this lady who has a 91 talon (N/T) i need a winter beater and she is selling it for $550. Thing is, she cant get it started. So she said if I can get it started today, that i can have it. She said that when she bought it in July it didnt run and the peopel said it was an electrical problem. She said she tried to jump it and everything lit up but it wouldn't start. No click nothing. So I go there today and I hook up the battery and look at the fuse box(pass side) and I see a couple fuse's missing. The ones with the yellow box around it. BUt it wouldn't start. Im about to go over there with a jumper And check the ignition switches. Anyone have any other ideas?

sounds like a starter to me. When mine failed, they just stopped working. No clicks. Being that it was a 5spd, I just rolled it back, and bump started it. If you have a spare starter, bring it over, and try it out. Fairly easy to replace with everything still in the car :)

I had the same problem with my 90 n/t. I went through two different starters before i checked the battery connections and sure enough they were loose. I tightened them up and it started right up. May not be as simple for you.
