    Car will start and run. When you turn lights on car will stop. Something is draining the battery

Try pulling the fuse for the anti theft system and starting. If the car starts normally, then the problem is with the theft system. The theft system will reset itself after a period of time.

2003 ford tarus starter will not turn over replaced starter , neutral safety switch, ing switch but still it still will not turn over and I jump it over at the starter and it will start but it will start...

Probably the solenoid not pulling in. Check connections to solenoid from battery. You should hear a loud click when turning ignition switch to start. Also, a real trap, make sure your auto park switch is working. Like, if you are in drive, the starter won't crank.

2006 Ford taurus won't start, starter, altlernator, battery replaced, ignition starter switch, neutral safely switch changed, still nothing

I looked at info for your security system, it is starter motor disable. I didn't see 06 ford Taurus in my database, so I looked at 05.
Battery has a full charge and battery connections all good?
We can usually do some tests to see if starter motor will crank the engine, but, if the security is the problem, it still won't start.
You can check for applicable trouble codes? Try a different key?

320D E46 BMW 2000 engine won't start. Batery indicator is OK, central lock is working.

If your battery is good and all of your other electrical systems work fine then chances are it is your starter that is bad. However if the engine turns over but just won't start then you most likely have an electrical problem such as a bad ignition switch or ECM. I hope this helps you out.

I have a 1997 ford Taurus and it will is draining the battery. I replaced the alternator and am still having the same issue any help would be appreciated.

Hy Bigjohn87, look like the problem is the regulator that is allowing too much power passing through to charge the batery. If you have a comun electrical tester check how much volts are at the batery when the car is running, should be more than 13 volts and less than 13.7volts more or less.
If the voltage is more than 14 v. probably the regulator should be changed.
Any car electrician can test and diagnose it problem en minutes without much fuse.
Wish you good luck

2004 Taurus will not crank

Does it crank with a jumpstart?

If so, then have the belt to the alternator checked. Do you make short trips? It may just take that long for the battery to discharge enough to not crank the engine.
