#58 of 121 99 Taurus Electrical Help by coachtrox Feb 24, 2008 (5:07 pm)
99 SE- This has been going on for 3-4 weeks: 1-Battery light began coming on periodically 2-Began to blink on and off, seemed to do so with acceleration and braking 3-Airbag and ABS lights infrequently came on, then would go off after a minute or two. 4-Flickering became more frequent last several days, heater blower would cut out (and it was icy!), sometimes come back when I stopped. 5-Did not drive for over 24 hours, then no crank at all. 6-Replaced battery today, light still on as I drove home and no heater blower. Any ideas??

#60 of 121 Need Help W/Odd Electrical Problem 93 Taurus by spenser2 Mar 05, 2008 (7:49 pm)
Hi, I hope maybe someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a nice 1993 Ford Taurus, which I had an engine replaced in last year. Recently, something is draining the battery while the car is TURNED off. It is not the alternator or the starter and my friend's can not figure out where the electrical drain is coming from. I do not want to take it to a shop as at 60 bucks an hour it could take hours to find some random drain and I am trying to sell the car. It would take up most of my profit if it took a garage 6 or 7 hours to find it. Maybe no one here can help as it may not have happened to you, but if by chance someone has had the same issue, maybe you could advise. I put a new battery in it and within a week (no driving just being in my parking lot) the new battery was drained. I have a second battery in it now, but I have to unhook the battery when not in use or it will drain that one also. The only remote clue I might have to this drain is that the air bags do not work and I am not sure if this is connected to the air bags but every now and then, in fact quite often, even if car is OFF you will hear a loud BEEP BEEP BEEP coming from near the glove box. It will do that for about five minutes even if car is off. It also does it when you drive the car and will start at random several times while driving. It was doing it one day and my friend's even took out the glove box and could not tell where it was coming from. I wonder if that is the drain on the electrical system/battery. It is not a regular warning buzzer of any kind. Something is a constant pull/drain on the battery. I am trying to sell this car and I do not want to sell it to anyone until I know what this is and get it fixed. For now, I have to unhook the battery everytime I am not using the car or within days it will be drained. Othe then this issue, it runs great. My friends tested the starter and the alternator and it is not that, plus it drains brand new batteries even when not used at all. Thanks to anyone who might be able to shed any light on this. I appreciate it greatly.

#62 of 121 2003 sable alarm problem by cmillls45 Mar 11, 2008 (7:10 pm)
I have a 2003 Sable with a factory alarm. It goes off randomly (headlights blink and horn sounds) while it is parked. It doesn’t matter if it is in the garage or outside, as well as the weather conditions (I live in MN).   I have read that you can splice the factory alarm disarm wire and ground it out. Is this the best option or do you have another opinion on why this keeps happening?   Thanks Chris
#63 of 121 '89 Sabel by dejay Apr 05, 2008 (12:11 pm)
I am 77 years old and working part time as I just had to down size as I lost half my income when my wife died last May. I purchased a 89 Sable with a 3.0 4 door. It is running hot and the radiator fan does not work. I am afraid to use the A/C as I have some Start-Stop traffic on the way to work. Once I get up to speed the needle stays around 1/2 way.   Is there any help??   Thanks Frustrated Don Replies to this message: xelvis66x (Nov 07, 2009 1:34 pm)

#65 of 121 OD light on '98 Sable by faust Apr 01, 2008 (9:41 am)
I'm looking at a '98 Sable wagon. It is not expected to be a DD but still I worry about the transmission. The dealer tells me that the OD light flashes on an off. Does this indicate a problem, or just a loose wire? Replies to this message: patelski (Apr 24, 2008 4:32 am)
#66 of 121 taurus dashboard light by kdmcgann Apr 09, 2008 (9:38 am)
Ford 2001 taurus sedan - I turn on the headlights but the dashboard does not illuminate. All other night illuminations work, and the headlights are on ok. This exact same thing happened with my 99 taurus. Anybody know what's wrong, or have any references to other sites or info?
