Re: 96 Ford Taurus Not starting, Relay Problems?

Ok, so I installed a new ignition switch and that did not solve the problem. When trying to start the car it just made a humming noise (electrical I guess?) so then that just left something in the dash being crosswired/miswired. After Unplugging about half of the AC/Heat/Defroster/Stereo wires now the door ajar noise is no longer made if the key isnt in the ignition and my keyless entry remote started working again. The car still made the humming noise when I attempted to start it. Then unplugged almost all of the remaining wires I was able to (There are still 4 wires coming from the AC Lo/High controls on the left and 2 from the defroster) and the car still won't start, but now wont make the humming noise, the ignition lights go out completely (instead of dimming) until I stop trying to start the car.
Also when locking the car with the keyless entry remote I noticed the horn isn't currently working, it just makes a clunk sound.
I guess some electrical device must have shorted out from something being crosswired?
UPDATE: I Connected the battery a little tighter to make sure that wasnt the problem
The car makes a clicking sound when the break is pressed/held
Also the horn doesnt work, it just makes a weird clunking sound. I locked the car with the remote so it tried to beep and then kept making the clunking sound over and over, I had to disconnect the battery to stop it.

SOLUTION: Took it to a repair place today and found out the used starter in the car was bad. -_- got it replaced
