Help! My vehicle which I have had no prior problems with until today now needs some expert help.The battery was dead this morning, even though nothing had been left on, so we jumped it to get it started. Parking light will not go off unless battery is disconnected, when I start the vehicle low fluid and brake warning dash lights come on and stay on, car appears to run fine, but when you shut the car off the warning buzzer goes off and says the headlights were left on, but they are off at the switch, but parking lights stay on continuously. Turn signals, headlights, brake lights are all working properly. I am at a complete loss. Any ideas. I have already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. That did not help. Found one blown fuse under the hood for "power point" according to owner's manual. Thanks for all the help.
