Hello all. I have a Ford Escort 1996 1.3, With a brand new battery. However every morning my battery is completely flat. We've jumped started left it on idle for 20 mins but the power still goes as soon as you switch something electrical on. We've charged the battery and it would only last a day - next morning it would be completely flat again. Also when you turn the ignition on you usually get 3 warning lights light up - handbrake , oil and battery, which normally go off as soon as you start the car - however the battery warning light does not light up anymore- was working fine before but even with a fully charged battery it still doesn't light up. I guess something may be draining the battery??? any idea's ??? Thanks in advance
