I parked my Taurus ( 2002 sel ) and after 10 secs i tried to start the car but it didn't want to start, there was some noice comeing from the starter. Before this happened i my car was fine, i was driving it for 2 hrs before this happned. My radio was bearly, my turning sigls were not workign but when i turned my 4 ways on they worked and my head lights worked as well so it wasn't the batter. My friend said that the fusses were good, does anyone know what the problem could be?

Relays, Alternator, or Battery. Go through it all.

Quite possibly could be battery. Just because the headlights work doesn't mean the battery is good.
You can have it tested; I would probably try charging it. If everything works at first and then dies then I would expect that the alternator just isn't charging it.

No doubt you have solved your problem by now, :naughty: but these cars sometimes need something as simple as cleaning the battery terminals and cable terminals on a regular(2-3 times a year) basis :22yikes:. Make sure the terminals are TIGHT on the battery post before you clamp them back down. Good luck.
