Default Battery light

My battery light for my second hand protege won't switch off so I tried reconnecting fuses which was not correctly done. After starting my car it won't switch off unless I remove one of the fuses. Battery light still on and there also seem to be something draining my new battery. Please assist and thank you in advance.

I would Google how to check for a parasitic drain. Some good videos. Check your ground wires where they screw to the body for rust and clean if needed. If you have a multimeter there are more tests that can be done. If not, do an AutoZone trip to confirm your battery is Okay and perhaps also test your Alternator output while there.
