The battery light is on due to the engine not starting. there are too many things that could go wrong to diagnose without more info. does the it crank but won't start or does it not crank at all?

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help. It was the starter & we got it replaced for the 2nd time. Thanks again!!"

    does your starter make a clicking sound when you turn the key? if it does, than i would suspect the starter or connections. make sure battery terminals are clean and tight. if not, check fuses. also, fords normally have a starter relay coming off of the positive battery cable. there are also cables with in line protection called fusible links. go to autozone.com and enter your car. you can view wiring diagrams. look under repair guides

99 ford taurus will not start

buy a can of carburator cleaner, spray into duct area while cranking engine. Does engine try to start(fire)? If so, find inertia switch (button in trunk). 'reset button just by pushing it. If this switch was triped, fuel injectors or fuel pump will not operaate. If spraying carb cleaner does not help starting then fuel pressure should be checked to rule out fuel delevery problem. AS a precaution, make sure your useing the correct key(original). Security problems also shut off fuel.
