Electrical problem
2004 Ford Taurus V6 3.0L Front Wheel Drive Automatic 67800 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
First problem was the emissions light coming on and I could smell fumes in my car. This happened for 2 days and also when I would turn off the car a clicking noise was coming from the dash behind the steering wheel area. The car was fine for a few days. Then several warning lights came on when I started the car and they stayed lite for a few minutes. Again, the clicking noise was heard each time I turned off the car. I can strop the clicking by turning the ignition back on and turning off again. Once the car didn't start. the Second attempt several dash warning lights came on. The third attempt the car started. Now for the 2 days the car has started fine but I think I can't depend on it starting.

Help! Thank you,
