What is wrong with my 2000 Ford Mustang V6?

When I put the key in the ignition everything goes up. The speedometer goes to the max, and so does the temperature, and rpm's

And then it goes back down
And then when I try starting the car… It tries twice, and then you hear a grinding noise. I have no idea what it is

I don't use the Ford as much as I do anymore as it is a weekend car and I haven't driven it in 5 days. What is wrong with it?

Added (1). And when I use my alarm it's not loud anymore…
It used to come from all side of the cars the noise, but now you can only hear it from the hood

Added (2). I rechecked the car. LIghts seem to be working fine, and windows are working but they are SLOWLY going down compared to how usual it is, and now it's not a grinding noise when I try turning it on, it's more of a small rumble. Could it just be a dead battery? If it is, I truly hope so as it is the cheapest option. Starter… Alternator, or solenoid? I'm screwed then

Added (3). And my wipers are going slow

Have the instruments always done that? Built in "self-check", I drove an Int'l tractor that did that every time you turned on the key. As for starter, either solenoid is going out, or worn teeth on starter drive or flex-plate (ring gear). Replace alarm speaker.

Found on road dead, it normal for a natiz ford to act like that

  • What's wrong with my 2002 Ford Mustang lock/unlock switch? When the car is on or off I can't lock or unlock using the switch on either door. The only way I can lock/unlock is by using the key fob or by manually using the key. Do I need to replace something? How is the car locking when I use the key fob but not when I press the buttons inside the car?
  • What's wrong with my 2002 Ford Mustang ABS light bulb? I own a 2002 Ford Mustang and recently I was replacing my ABS light bulb but the bulb I put in won't work. I turn the car on and let it run it's self test and the ABS light doesn't turn on. It won't turn on during self-test or after, it's as if the ABS light bulb is pulled out but I just put a new one in there? And the old bulb doesn't work either now. Do I need a new bulb? Or when a bulb is removed does it break the speedometer? Do I need a new speedometer now?

I just bought a 1996 ford mustang gt it runs well but the dashboard caught fire for whatever reason on the previous owner. The tail lights and dash lights don't work and there's no radio or speakers.

  • Insurance cost for a 2000 Ford Mustang? I'm 17 years old and this would be my first car. By the time I'll have enough to actually get the car I'll have had my license for about 2 months. I realize there are a lot of factors that go into insurance rates but could somebody give me a price range for this type of car?
