Try unplugging the mass air flow sensor on the air filter box. If it don't stall, change the sensor.

Remove the switch panel and check to see there is 12V power there.. If there is Push the switch and see if the power comes out of it to drive the motor, if the power is not present check the wire back looking for the short.. usually if the power is missing none of the windows will work. look where the wires come out the door post to the door. look at fuses, If there is power and it does not come through the switch when you push the switch. the switch might be bad. in which case jump the switch to roll window up and buy a new switch (rock auto.com) if you apply 12v power and the window still will not go up.. you will need to replace the motor. not a hard job. you must remove door panel and remove regulator and motor and replace and reinstall. either junk yard part, craigslist part or new at Rock auto.. Post a comment and let us know what happens.

Try you tube !

I think the question is why do you need to bypass ignition switch on your 95 ford taurus? Is the key not working replace ignition switch

The dash lights have their own 5 amp fuse. The power for this fuse comes through the fuse for the tail lamps. This is done so that if the fuse for the tail lamps blows, the driver will know because the dash lamps go out and when he checks the dash lamp fuse, it will be good, but there will be no power going to it. Most common issue though, is that someone accidentally turned the dimmer switch for the dash lamps completely down. Check that first.

Check it out on you tube!

Check and clean mass air flow sensor. See if that helps.

Sounds like a fuse or the switch that dims the dash lights. Look thrue the manual.

Its near the battery ! You can check it out on you tube !

It's most likely a short in the wiring somewhere. When the transmission is put in reverse, it'll cause the engine to shift, which could cause strain on the wiring harness and cause the field wire to the alternator to lose connection.

Yes it should be fine as long as your temp and oil are ok usually it is just emissions code that triggers the light

try this

low idle causes the alternator go below min voltage = batt light main harness for the engine compartment is routed between the firewall and exhaust header/egr tube. Bad location plus the harness is attached to the metal coolant by-pass tubes, a failing motor mount could let the harness "ground". A '95' Taurus usually takes 2.5 to 3 years to eat a fresh battery. The elect system is draining the battery even when its parked!. If the cables/terminals are sound and tight and a voltmeter test indicates 13.75 - 14 volts when checked at the batt terminals, with engine at idle and tranny in park. Have someone apply the brakes and shift to reverse, take another voltmeter reading. There shouldn't be a significant drop in the two tests. If the engine rocks badly on the mnts and the second test has a voltage drop under 12 volts. Then a short to ground is very likely. Take it to a parts house that will test the battery and alternator for you. but if the battery is over 2 yrs. old, then your going to replace it soon. let me know if you would please. ej

Switch is located at shifter lever on the top of transmission.

4 Cyl Intake manifold bolts to heads = 15 to 23 Ft-lbs 6 Cyl 3.0L Step 1 = 11, step 2 = 21 6 Cyl 3.8L Step 1 = 7, step 2 = 15 & step 3 = 24 Ft-lbs Tighten the bolts in secuence from center to out, alternating sides (front & rear); reaching the specified torque in several stages. I hope this helps. Take care.

A quick solution to this is to go to a dump and get an exchange gearbox.They seldom go wrong and it would be cheaper than parts. I do not know the car very well,but if it is a steereing column change some of the connecting rods could have slipped off before it enters the gear box.Could be worth following rods to box to make sure,usually joined with small king pin but might be something else.You could join with wire if that is what it is,and go and get the small parts you need.

Did you recently replace the front brakes ? If you did them yourself, did you clean and GREASE the front rotor pins that bolt the brake disc holders to the wheel assembly ?They might be rusted in place, and won't let the disc retract or close. Your wheel cylinders might be frozen in place as well.

A couple questions first.. at what speed does it cut out at, and is the cut out consistent at that speed? Just to throw a couple ideas at you to begin with, it could be a plugged fuel filter, because what happens is that the higher speed you travel at, the more pressure it takes to push the gas through the filter. So if it's plugged, you will notice it at higher speeds. If you slow down, the gas will trickle through enough to keep the engine running smoothly. Start there, and if no help, write back and we'll get into some sensors to check. But they are a little more pricey...

Pull the flasher out and put a new one in...-

Check in a Junk Yard, a lot of car has the Manual in the Glove Box or buy a Taurus / Sable Repair Manual in a Auto Store ($15-$20); I recommend to go for the repair manual, that will help you to keep your Taurus in good shape for the future. Take care.
