It is called the fuel pump reset switch, it is not a toggle switch it is a resettable spring loaded pop up switch, the location is shown in the owners manual under fuel pump reset switch. in the index.

SOURCE: discunected my battery to replace a/c compreser

disconnecting the battery having an alarm system activated the security on it. you will have to get it towed to your local dealer repair shop and have then deactivate the alarm system. i would also go to autozone and buy a devise that you plug into your vehicle to make sure that doesnt happen again.

SOURCE: 99 ford taurus car will not hold back going down

I would start with the 'PCM', or Power Control Module. You will have to take it to a garage with diagnostic capabilities to have this checked. The PCM controls how and when your car shifts, what RPM's it shifts at, etc......

Transmission light keeps flashing

Absolutely no idea as the newer the vehicle the more electronics fitted and more difficult it is for us old school mechanics to repair as you need a IT specialist and not a grease monkey with a big hammer .Try a direct question to emmisionwiz as hes a ford dealer mechanic and will know for sure especially with a autobox ,which being a europeon mechanic iam more used to wartburgs and trabants or real cars like rovers and humbers even worsley with seddon atkinsons as well

2007 Ford Taurus Theft Light on when attempting to start, won't start with original key. Can it be reset to start?

You will need to have the Ford dealer or a well equipped locksmith program the keys again. As this takes a special electronic scanner to access the module to recode it you can't do it at home.
