Default Car wont start

Hey guys i have a 1993 mustang gt and its been sitting since about November when this problem started. Havent really had the time to get around to it till now. But the engine wont even turn over it just makes a clicking noise when i turn the key. I tried charging the battery andall the accessories work but all i get is the clicking noise when i turn the key. Could it just be that the battery is completly shot? or something else? i dont want to go buy a new battery if thats not the problem. The starter was replaced about a year ago so id hope thats not the problem.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

that sounds like your starter. check the terminals off the starter solinoid to the starter they could be loose or all nastied up. if its all clean and tight you need a new starter. it happens you can get a band new starter and have it go out in a couple days

I had a similar problem, just the clicking... Check to see ifyour ground cable came loose. It runs from the head on the drivers side to the fire wall. This is a common problem.
