SOURCE: 1998 ford tuarus se won't start

needs a starter- or cable- if you had to tap on it for it to work its junk-

SOURCE: Car wont start

I have to agree with duane_wine. Starter makes sense. Sometimes you can jump the starter by cracking the solenoid with something metal. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it'll knock some of the corrosion off the internal componets. Good luck. Love to hear what the issue ultimately is.

SOURCE: 2000 ford expadition battery/alternater problem

I have a 2000 Ford Expodition, After changing the alternator for the third and final time, I jump started it several time till I could get it to a repair shop, the owner looked at several things and did a few test. then replaced the #1 fuse a 20Amp Power point fuse that was blown. it has worked fine ever since. BTW he did not charge me anything, made a new firend and customer.

SOURCE: 2003 Taurus. Oil light came

Before driving it anymore I would have someone test the actual oil pressure using a mechanical test gauge to see how much , or little, oil pressure you actually have. The knocking noise could be a hydraulic lifter that is partially collapsed due to low oil pressure or a rod bearing that has been damaged from low oil pressure. If it is just a lifter that is making noise then there's a pretty good chance that the lifter will quiet back down once the oil pressure is normal again. If it turns out that your oil pressure is normal both at an idle and at highway speeds then the noise may be unrelated. You can cause some serious damage by continuing to operate any engine that is low on oil pressure even if the dipstick shows it to be full of oil. Hope this helps and good luck!
