What does the light that shows as a screw on the side of car mean

gas cap is loose or no longer engaging the sensor make sure it clicks. If not replace gas cap. Evap system is more than likely seeing this as a huge vacuum leak.

On my ford taurus a light with the car and bolt on the side.

If you mean this warning light 5d07d41.png
then that means the fuel cap is loose. Tighten it 3 clicks. You really should get yourself an owner's manual. Go here where you can download your manual in PDF format. https://www.flmowner.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/OwnerGuidePage

My daughter bought a 2002 ford escape and it did not come with a manual. She has some warning lights that come on from time to time but does not know what they mean. Is there a user manual I can download...

Try this website. You can download the owner's manual and it has descriptions of the warning lights:

What is the gear with ! in it on Ford Taurus 2001 dashboard

That is a transmission warning light. You need to take it to a transmission shop where they have a special code reader that will tell you what the problem is. My car did the same thing was lucky found out it was just a solenoid in the transmission that needed replaced and not the trans itself.

Yellow engine symbol appeared on the dashboard of my 2005 Ford Taurus.

The engine shaped dash warning icon/symbol represents the "Check Engine Light", CEL for short.
It could be because of several things that can make the light come on. Perform a scan on the car and identify the error codes . Autozone can scan the codes for free.
