Problem with Fairlane starter motor

When I turn the key to start my 1995 Ford Fairlane and all I hear is the starter motor engaging, but it wont turn over. Any ideas?

That’s often a sign that the battery has lost its punch, so start by checking the battery condition. Also check the battery terminals and clean them if necessary. If the battery is fine and the terminals are clean you could look at the starter itself.
