If this problem started just by changing the starter, either there is a wire unhooked or somehow switched, I do not think the starter would cause that as long as it was the right starter. It should have been identical to the old starter.

My mom has a 1998 Ford Taurus, doors and trunk wont unlock even with the key, what can I do for her? She rarely drives the car any more and she has been known to leave the door agar or dome light on and...

I assume you have the correct key. (sorry, I have to ask) For all doors locks and the trunk lock to not work, at the same time, is very unusual.

Try squirting some light oil in the locks, like WD-40, then push the key in and out a few times.
Wait a couple of minutes, and then try to unlock the doors and trunk.

If you still cant get in the car, and your 100% positive you have the right key, call a lock out service.

They can get it open, and your insurance may cover it. Hope this helps.

Sounds like the keyless entry system is on the fritz. You will probably have to get a new brain for the keyless entry system.

In the trunk on the trunk mount support there should a sticker with the original keyless code number, reinstall this number into your system and try it. The original number will reset the system.

Door keeps unlocking and alarm keeps coming on

it sounds like it is in the door lock actuator and the security mode itself now if you have a remote starter installed you may have to take it back to the person who installed it because the problem maybe in your security system

My car is acting crazy!

" turn the key on engine off 8 times. the doors will lock and unlock. push one of the buttons on the key fob and the doors will lock and unlock. do this for each remote that you have. when you are done turn the key off. the door locks will lock and unlock. the remote fob should work after this."

Try the trunk switch next to the driver's seat.
