Battery/electrical problem on my Escort
This is on my 2001 Escort ZX2, it was working fine the other week, and it sat for 8 days in the 30-50 degree weather we've been having, not nearly long enough to kill the battery. Anyway, the car was completely dead when I tried to start it a few days ago, no power locks, no trunk release, etc. I figured it was just an old battery, but jumping it didn't help anything.
Even with the other car jumping it, there is still no power locks, interior lights, etc. I checked the Escort's battery and it still has 12v according to my voltmeter, definitely enough to run a power lock. It seems like the battery has a cutoff switch and the power isn't making it to the car. I even took out the battery and hooked the Escort up to the other car's battery, still nothing.
I checked the main fuse box under the hood and everything looks ok there, I'm really at a loss here, any help is appreciated.
