Engine does not start

Ford Escape 2002 escape 3.0 auto 198000 miles
Engine does not turn over. All dash lights come on and go off normally. Headlights work. Door locks can be cycled with fob. Can unlock shifter and it will move but mashing brake will not release shifter.

Dashboard

Ford Escape 2002  120000 miles
As it was a rainy season, I was driving with the frost on when suddenly the dashboard went crazy: both the abs and handbrake lights turned on, the air conditioning and windscreen wipers worked faster, and even the needles started moving from one side to the other. But still there was no engine failure.

My 2001 Ford Escape 3lt V6 was working fine with no problems then all the dash lights went out - I have checker all the fuses and they are OK - my radio, interior and tail lights all work OK. Do you have any idea what may have caused this?

Hill start assist not available abs and traction control light on

Ford Escape 2015 Se 136000 miles
Car runs and drives great. Not had any problems till now. The obd port doesn't work. So I can't have the system checked. But I have changed the breaks and abs sensors. And still the same problem.

My BlueDriver claims that both rear wheel speed sensors have wrong part installed. I've read that i need to remove and clean, cross reference part numbers that are etched on them, also check wiring and anything else related to them. I haven't attempted this yet. First, i need to fix the battery drain issue and then emissions issues, then the abs will get its turn.

No horn, and airbag light randomly lights up

Ford Escape 2004 Column shift, roughly 27000 ks on clock  27000 miles
I bought my car off facebook, 4 months ago, didn't see, hear or find anything wrong with it until a month ago I went to use my horn and it didn't work,
The other day the airbag light started flashing and now it comes nd goes randomly... also when I press on the horn the whole thing caves in then pops out, does this mean my car has no airbags? And is that the reason I have no horn?
