How is everyone?

I got a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8. I put a new battery in it a couple of months ago while it was in the shop for a brake replacement. A week ago, when I drove the vehicle back home, I went to operate the vehicle a couple of days later and the power was dead.

I had to jump the vehicle off with my other vehicle. Which, which the Lincoln Mark 8 was being charged, the interior lights didn't go off while the doors were closed. There is also a "Right Door Ajar" message on the information center.

I turned the Lincoln Mark 8 on after a few minutes of charging, the vehicle started up. I let the vehicle idle for a few minutes for the battery to charge. A couple of minutes after I had turned the vehicle off, the power went dead
 
Spray the right door latch with WD-40. If the car thinks the door is open, the interior lights will not turn off. The door ajar message is common.
