Whata wrong with my 08 ford escape xlt?

My 2008 ford escape xlt got a few lights turned on. While driving home yesterday, several dummy lights came on all at once all of a sudden -- the air bag light, the ABS warning light, the traction control warning light, and a few other lights. I press the trip reset button and that seems to fix the problem for 10 minutes until they all come on again. Then my speed and hot/cold gauge completely drop. I can't tell my speed! It doesn't move an INCH. That's really scary. I went to get the computer checked out and had no codes come up. Please guys! Any help would be great! Thank you! I'm not sure how to upload pics but if you would like to see a pic of which lights come up email me please. Davidwright696969 @gmail.com

Failed Emissions for 2002 Ford Escape?

I have a 2002 Ford Escape. I had the oxygen plug to the engine replaced to fix the code when the check engine light came on a few weeks ago. I replaced the alternator and battery yesterday. No lights are on so I assumed I was good to go for inspection and emissions in NJ. My overall readiness for emissions failed with the following not ready: catalytic converter and evaporative system. The following were unsupported: heated catalytic converter, secondary air injection, and A/C refrigerant. Could this be from the computer needing more time to reset when the battery was replaced or am I just looking to drop a lot of money?

Parking break wire bypass?

I recently bought a Pioneer AVH-x2600bt stereo head unit. I have it all wired up and the parking break wire is the only thing that is left. I'm not quite sure how the best way to go about it is. I'm installing in in a 2004 Ford Escape without premium sound if that helps at all.

4 people in the backseat?

As a new driver with my temporary license, I'm quite looking forward to receiving my full license in 6 months. I currently own a Ford Escape (small SUV) that has a wider-than-most rear seat and a flat rear floor so everyone can easily ride in comfort. I'm in a closeknit circle of 6 extremely close friends and we routinely go places together. My only question is whether or not it is legal to fit 4 people in the back seat if they are all buckled? We have a seat belt extender used when we had a car seat in the back seat and therefore, by utilizing the extender we could comfortably fit all 4 into the back. The question is not regarding comfort, however, it is regarding the legality of this. Is it legal?

2002 ford escape ac no cold air but refridgerant is full?

AC in my Ford Escape has no cold air. Was gradually losing cold air the last few days. Heater works fine. When I tried to add refridgerant the gauge on the can said 150 psi without even pulling the trigger. When I pulled the trigger to let out the refridgerant it would go to 0 psi. Yes i an positive i was on the low side port since it would not fit the other port. So it sounds like it's at full. No refridgerant has been allowed to be dispense from the can. I assume it has no leaks. I have honestly not checked fuses yet or relays but that is the next step that I would assume. I just wanted to see if anyone has any insight on the possibilities that it could be some other issue. It's been working fine for 2 years straight since I bought it and fixed it initially in 2012. It is a 12 year old car after all.
