When you run very low on gas or even worse run it empty it overheats and can destroy the tiny electric fuel pump inside the gas tank, the pump requires fuel around it for cooling and for lubrication purposes. So I strongly suggest you check the fuel pressure at the pressure test port in the fuel injection supply rail that is over the injectors, I bet there is no pressure.
you cannot its thats simple ,no dip stick ,you would need to drain and refill ,,,or with a cheap oil draining pump undo the plug in the sump then push the pipe up the middle and fill till it runs over the level outer part of the tube inside ,run engine then refill
some cars have security in the radio and if it was turned on when you unhooked the battery the radio probably lost the code. unfortunately you will probably need to take it to a dealer to get the radio unlocked.
It is the interior/dome light fuse. If you have dome lights, Then the trunk light should work. If it doesn't , then you will have to replace the bulb or start tracing the wires.
THe drive belt tensioner and the crankshaft pulley are under the power steering pump. also, the timing cover and timing chains/components on the inside of the engine.
Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuits using a DMM - digital multi-meter ?
Principles of Operation
The headlamp switch is supplied power at all times from the smart junction box (SJB). When the headlamps switch is placed in the headlamps ON position, power is routed to the multifunction switch. Depending on the position of the multifunction switch, power is routed through one of two circuits to the SJB. If the multifunction switch is in the high beam position, power is routed through SJB fuse 12 (15A) and then on to the high beam headlamps. If the multifunction switch is in the low beam position, power is routed through SJB fuses 11 (10A) and 15 (10A) to the LH and RH headlamps, respectively. Power to the multifunction switch is available at all times for the flash-to-pass feature.
Is there B+ voltage at fuse's # 11 & 15 with headlamps on an the multifunction switch is in the low beam position ? If not check for B+ voltage at the multifunction switch . Free wiring diagrams here

I have same problem, 04 Tarus, Abs light, brake light, fuel cap light, oil pressure light, and one other, checked oil pressure with manual gauge and its good, has been doing this since it was new in 04, also radio has a mind of its own turns up and down on its own when warning lights are on.
remove belt make sure you have the routing diagram for the belt. Take old tensioner off install new one reinstall belt ,tensioner will need to have tension taken off with wrench take tension off install belt let the tensioner go easily and slowly.
You can't - when the PATS (passive anti-theft system) is armed the engine management system (and maybe other stuff) is switched off.
The system is embedded into and integral with the vehicle electronics and it is practically impossible to defeat it or bypass it. Only sending the correct code will switch on the electronics and allow the engine to start - the code is stored in the vehicle memory and in a transponder embedded either in the ignition key or plip.
