Car shuts off when trying to start and lights always on.

Every time I try to start my car, a second later it shuts off. I did use to have a car alarm problem but I left it alone for a year and it went away. Now whenever I connect the battery the interior lights go on and I cannot shut them off.

The pin switch on one of the doors is not hooked up or is defect more than likely its the rear hatch or window but the lights will shut off 3 min after the the doors are shut or nothing is touched so next time you get out just close the doors and walk away if they do not shut off after 3min then it is the body control module

2002 Ford Taurus has no power. No head lights no dome light no horn blah blah. Ok first of all my cars alarm kept going off by itself off and on for 2 weeks. I come out to start the car and it goes click...

One possibility is that the battery terminals are either corroded or not tight to the battery posts. Second, the battery itself may have seen its days. Try another battery of simply replace it. If the problem still exists, the have a mechanic inspect the main wiring from the battery to fuse block. Your alarm device may have its own battery source. The tick tick are the cars systems relays trying to engage, but there is not enough power for them to engage.

Trunk light on ~ trunk not open ~ alarm going off

look for a what is called a valet switch under the dash.(it is a pushbutton switch or a toggle switch.) Have somebody help you and turn the key all the way to where it wants to crank the engine and press the button switch or flip the toggle switch at the same time . within 5 seconds at least.your antitheft light will come on and your alarm will sound once. That should bypass the anti theft locking and reset the ECU .Then try to start the car. I don't know if it will work , but give it a try.
