Ford Taurus doesn't start only makes click sound when turning ignition?

If it is a continues clicking sound you here it is probably the starter solenoid. This does not mean the solenoid is defective, it means either the battery is low on charge or you have a bad connection from the battery to the starter. Turn the headlights "on" and try to start the engine. If the lights are bright when you are doing this, you probably have a bad connection. If the lights are dim when you turn them "on", check the connections to the battery, if the connections are good, the battery is low on charge. Next, check your battery and charging system.

My engine won't turn over in cold weather what should I do?

Check your Battery by doing a load test. If it passes a load test, you should check the starter to see how many amps it is drawing! Ranges vary on a battery load test depending on temperature. Usually if it goes below 9.6 volts at a room temp. or a bit colder, the battery has failed. I think a good starter should draw approximately 250 - 300 Amps.

What does it mean when the battery light comes on in a 1991 Honda Accord?

Not a good sign, This could mean that your charging system (alternator) isn't doing its job. If you have problems starting the car due to not enough battery power, then check your battery to see if it is holding the charge. If after a while that you had to boost or jumpstart your battery your car gradually dies then check your alternator to see if it is putting out charge to the battery.
