I changed the fuel filter and the battery, it wants to start but when you turn ignition key, the battery drains. All dash lights come on. But motor sounds like it is draining.

Remove the battery and have it thoroughly tested at a popular auto parts store, this is usually a free service.

But this is a possibility too! Do what it suggests/no passing things off. See my answer in the link below.
