My 2000 Ford Taurus check light came on it's an ! Light what do I need to do
HI Diane take the vehicle to a local parts store 9 out of 10 of the will plug it into a code reader for free
Get the code it will be POXXXX what ever this will tell you kind of problem you have .
Don't panic it is likely something vary simple and inexpensive like a sensor or ever a filter and is normal if your not haveing hugh issues like it won't run at all .
Then get back to me and I will try to figure it out for you .
Has a lot of trouble turning over. It tried but ususlly doesnt and once it does it smells like trsnsmision fluid. Has pleanty and oil aswell. Any ideas on why its not turnibg over?
Usually when a car does not turn over, as in starter motor fails to trn over engine, it is battery related, weak, so turn on your headlights and see if they are bright, then leave on and try to start engine, if lights dim, charge battery is first thing to do, then have battery checked, sure sign of battery going bad. Trans. fluid smell is probably a leak issue, so look under car for drips which sometimes hits exhaust which causes smell. Trans. fluid is rarely something you can smell other than when burning.

LIGHT ON LEFT SIDE OF DASH IS ON...WHAT IS WRONG?? NO MANUAL..
Given you did not indicate a decription of light on left side, we can only assume it is your check engine light which comes on for dozens of issues, some serious, some not so, but you need to have the codes pulled to point you in the right direction. You can try AutoZone auto parts store who will put diagnostic analyzer on your vehicle to identify problem, then you will know what you are dealing with, otherwise, it would be a guess at what is wrong. If it is check engine light, shape of engine is what most have, some will say check engine, but either way, this is the most common light on left sife of dashboards. First thing to check is your gas cap, if it was left off after driving, or loose, it will trigger check engine light, and if so, tighten, check seal which tends to dry out, you should be able to see this which is 90% of reasons light comes on. Good luck.

Do you have floor console shifter ?
Shift Interlock System
A brake/shifter interlock system consists of the following:
- ignition switch (11572)
- brake pedal stoplight switch (13480)
- brake shift interlock module
- brake shift interlock solenoid assembly (attached to key interlock assembly)
- necessary wiring
On floor-shift vehicles, the ignition/shifter interlock cable (3F719):
- locks the floor shift transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
- requires the floor shift transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Why is gas leaking out my muffler?
If it is liquid gas, you likely have a hard fuel system fault pouring liquid gas into the engine unrestricted. This frequently is caused on older vehicles by things like fuel pressure regulator failures, injector or computer injector driver failures, or sometimes computer faults related to fuel control improperly stuck in lean mode so the computer thinks there isnt enough gas in the engine, and adds fuel till the sensors see the ratio is correct. But if the sensors that would tell it when it reaches correct amount are stuck or broken, it will add fuel sometimes nearly forever till it starts liquifying the exhaust (Seen a Toyota with a bad O2 sensor hit 13.3% CO from a bad pair of O2 sensors. For comparison, normal CO is 0.5% or less. it had 25x normal fuel enrichment amount!)
Basically its ridiculously dangerous. Dont drive the car like that, tow it to service or fix it. It can catch fire, choke passengers on HC fumes, it can hydralock the engine and cause it to blow or severely damage internal parts, it can destroy o2 sensors and catalytic converters and mufflers. If the fumes collect and ignite from sparks or heat, it can detonate like a grenade! Usually not enough to injure passengers, but you dont wanna find out, and even if it stays underneath in the exhaust it can blow the catalytic converter or muffler to kingdom come...and both are expensive to fix especially when it can be prevented, Seek service immediately. They need to check for mechanical fuel issues (leaking injector, stuck injector, leaking fuel pressure regulator) or excessive fuel trims (System is at +25 long and short term trims despite the fact its actually got too much gas already...computer thinks it needs more. The computer is likely very wrong!
Hope it helps.
