Something is wrong in the 94 Taurus reverse light circuit. There is probably a short causing the battery voltage to drop when the car is in reverse.
I'm not sure about all of these, but I have a 98 Taurus and the battery light came on. After a few days, the car died altogether and I had to replace my alternator. I would definitely take the battery indicator seriously and have your alternator checked.
It probably has something to do with the switch.
Low transmission fluid will make a car act like this. Check the transmission fluid and fill to the full line.
message center display light brighter after I disconnected the battery
you may have a bad battery or a bad voltage regulator
Remove negative battery terminal for 10 mins.
check the radiator. ;)
could be alternator or charging circuit or could be anything got to do with the battery when its draining out loose connection terminal
Once you disconnect the negative side of battery for approx. 5 min, put vehicle in drive and pull forward and this should clear the ABS light. Will not clear automatically after starting or in reverse.
You can drive any car with the battery light on until the battery eventually runs down and the engine dies. The light is on because there is a problem with the charging system and more than likely it means the alternator needs replacing.
The light is telling you that there is a problem with the charging system. You are running off the battery and will eventually get stuck with a dead battery if you continue to drive that vehicle with the battery light on. Drive to your local auto parts store and they will test the charging system for you at no cost. You are probably in need of an alternator.
Probably a dead battery but you may wish to check your battery terminals for corrosion.
