Hello, The warning lights are likely because of low voltage from the battery, and that needs to be corrected first. Afterwards, you can diagnose any remaining issues individually. The battery will slowly drain over time, but if you drive it even once every couple days you shouldn't have an issue. Do the standard checks: -Battery terminals clean and tight -battery cables not frayed, melted, cracked, damaged, etc... -everything is turning off when the car is shut off -Alternator is charging the battery between 12.5 and 15 volts (maybe a little more). If you find the battery is charging properly, since it is new, there is likely a parasitic draw. You can identify the amount of draw on the battery when everything is turned off by disconnecting the ground cable and measuring the amperage draw. It should be somewhere around or below 0.1 amps. If it is higher, pull fuses one at a time until you see it drop.
