Hi Sir,

I am facing one problem in my ford Fiesta since last 2 days . Headlamps stay continuously on after removing the key for the ignition switch , due to which battery drained out completely which resulted in cranking problems.
My car was completely dead last evening when I went to start it . At last I had to jump start my car with the help of
one of my friends car . But again I am not sure whether the problem has completely solved on 100 % .

Please let me know the solution since my car is in warranty period .
