I have a 1992 Mercury Capri with about 140k miles on it. I believe it is a 1.6L engine.
I left the headlights on overnight, and obviously the car wouldn't start afterward. We tried to jump start it, but it would still not turn over, not even make a sound, though the headlights still turned on. I put a new battery in it, but it still won't turn over, and the headlights still turn on. I can't hear or see anything moving when I turn the key. Could this be the starter motor? It was starting up perfectly fine before this happened. Any help, advice or even some possible explanations would be greatly appreciated.
