Default Power roof escort cab.

Hi ,

I have a 1997 ford escort cabriolet.It has been dry stored over winter as it is every winter.
I have never had a problem with the power hood until now.I cannot hear any power going to the motor when I press the button to lower the hood.
The battery was flat when I got the car out of storage and I have noticed that the fluid level is very low in the hoods motor but I am not sure that would be the reason for no power going to the motor.
Any ideas as to what I can try? maybe a fuse? fingers crossed that's all it is.
The hood is also manual but I have checked that the turn key is in the right position for power hood.
If I should check the fuse then where is the fuse that I need to check?
Silly questions but I have no idea
Many Thanks
Julia
