Sounds like corrosion in an electrical connector providing a link for electrical current to leak to another circuit/system. Sometimes connector blocks are hidden under carpets where moisture collects.
Remove 'scuff trims' to be able to lift carpet and find connectors. Undo the connectors one at a time until light goes out. Spray all connectors with a product like 'WD40' before re-assembly

SOURCE: 2005 ford taurus. Remote entry wont work theft light keeps blinking when key is engaged

HI, I'm reading your problem,
Let me explain something about your car.

2005 Ford Taurus, The key on that car has Chip inside of the key and receiver on the ignition switch,
Check if the key you are trying to use is Black and has a plastic head.
If not you need a key with that characteristics.
But if you have the right key, Remenber if you had drop on the floor, or hit with something,
Because some times they come damaged, with insignificat thins.
Remenber if you left the key close to a magnets like speakers.

If nothing aply at your case, you need to call a place Aloha Smith, they have the computer to program or reprogarm your key. IF not you can't start your car.

OK.. I hope this information work for you.

Thank's for submit yous question on fixya.com

SOURCE: 2001 ford taurus wont start and anti-theft light is blinking

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

1998 ford taurus,brake lights remain on when car not in use,continuous draining of battery. also interior lights sometimes will not go off when exiting the car?

Sounds like a bad brake light switch. It's mounted on top side of your brake pedal. Domelites are a faulty door switch. Both are fairly inexpensive repair, local parts store should have everything easily in stock.

2004 ford taurus occasionaly wont start right up.

Can you tell me if it was in fact the starter? I have an 04 Ford Taurus with 99K miles on it. This week when I started it up, not everytime but often the abs, brake, tire and traction control lights will stay on. Also the computer display will read either park brake engaged or passenger door ajar. I turn it off and start it again and the issue goes away. This morning it acted as though it had a dead battery and I had the clicking sound behind the dash as well as the vibrating needles. Thanks!

Sometimes my interior light will not shut off

Their is a door sensor in your door jam that turns on your lights. If you look in your door jam where information stickers are. You should see a rubber gromet about the 3/4 or a inch long. If you can push that in you have found the door sensor.

Odd are this sensor has gone bad and needs replaced.
