car dies when lights are turned on
i posted the other day about my rear lights/interior not working (mk4 escort). anyway ive fitted new bulb holders/stalk and still have nothing at the back other than indicators. i think ive fitted the connect-to-bulb holders upside down but not sure. ive tried both ways still no joy. anyway after attempting to test lights the engine cut and showed symptoms of a dead battery on trying to restart. the fuel pump would prime but not turn the starter motor. after a breif charge the same thing happened. the car started fine the died/not turning the starter ect. any ideas please. its as if the battery is been drained rather than holding charge but the lights instanly flatten it and cut the engine. instantly i mean the min you hit the switch.
