I suspect the real problem has to do with this cable that tells your car it is/was in a safe gear to start. Basically your car doesn't think it is in park. Try starting it in neutral. If that doesn't work then look at electrical stuff. but test this out first so you don't spend money on something you don't really need.

Take out the spark plugs to release compression, but mark them first so they get back in the right place whent you replace them. You should be able to turn the engine by hand easily. If you can't you need a new engine. Fords will act really bad when the alternator dies. They will just stop on you and jumping won't get you far at all. If the engine has seized and you try to make the starter turn it anyway, you might pop a fuse because the starter pulls too much current trying to rotate. Have the breathalyzer checked, but I still think the engine is done for due to lack of lubrication. So sad. Too bad, too bad. Have a cup of coffee and call your sponsor.

Sounds like the starter is going out of it though. Its not the alternator or it would have started with a new battery. Could be a lot of things.
