Whats draining my battery? SolvedSolved

Ford F-150 2002 F150 167000 miles
When my truck sits overnight, something is draining on the battery. When i open the door the dinger goes off and the radio turns on (off whenever i turn vehicle off). Start truck up and bam... No radio sometimes no wipers. It has a brand new battery i installed a month ago. Testing says alternator is fine. Only new in the last year is a fuel pump.

Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on number of threads on different forum, no solution seems to work. I am really frustrated, can anyone of you here help me resolve this issue, I am very much tired now

I have read that a front windshield leak causes the GEM module to short out if at any time you have things that come on and off without you turning them on. It is a box connected directly on top of the under dash fuse box. It is very hard to get out, and they are hard to find for the older trucks. You either have to buy used or remanufactured, and the model number of your part has to exactly match or all of your options will not work. I’m still trying to get one for mine, but haven’t had any luck. I have looked for a cross reference part #, but haven’t had any luck. Even my call to Ford ended with them telling me to find an electronics repair shop that can refurbish mine. I still haven’t found one that will guarantee the part for more than 30 days, and they want me to send my part to them and then wait for them to make the repair and they will mail it back. The cost is astronomical too! To have mine repaired it was $400, and if I want to take a chance on a junkyard part, I can get one for $150. The junkyard part is only guaranteed with an exchange if the part they send don’t work. I can’t find any information on specs, or any testing methods. I’ve even tried to get nomenclature to find out what the model #digits mean. There is mot much good info on this part. I hope this helps. Make sure you have the windshield resealed before replacing the part if that’s what yours turns out to be.

I think that's my problem. When I brought it home. I had break lights and turn signals. Now I have none. Bad arch when putting battery cable on. Positive or negative? What do you think?

So driving down the road and the solution came to me, in the form of my under dash fuse panel. It caught fire! Got it out with minimal damage. New fuse panel (and a couple short wire repairs), no more issues! Not my preferred way of finding the issue but it is solved and fixed.

This just started happening to me about 1 month ago. It is intermittent, so one day all works well the next I have nothing. Controls on Dash (center) console not working; A/C, Heater, Radio, defrosters, etc. 1) When radio volume/pwr knob pushed the clock shows briefly in the led window above the console. 2) Hazard button works and turns hazards on. 3) CD Player controls work. 4) 12v outlet works. 5) USB port provides power. 6. ) Keyless entry (remote) no longer works when the center console controls aren't working but works on the days the controls are working. Anyone have any updates on a repair that will fix this??
JaRe from Canada a year ago
I took my truck into Ford Dealership. Of course, everything was working fine that day. Told me they couldn't duplicate the problem in the shop or on a test drive. They decided to perform a self-test on all the modules and found multiple modules lost communication with the BCM (Body Control Module). Ran a self-test and network test on the BCM and it passed. Performed an inspection of the BCM itself and found C2280B on the bottom of the BCM to not be fully seated and locked. While wiggling this connector they were able to duplicate the no radio, heat, defrost or center console controls. Reinstalled the connector and made sure it was fully seated and locked. 3 days later and I haven't had any issues since. Cost me $190 labour but I wouldn't have been able to figure this out myself.

In the 2004 ford f150 if you have that problem its the ground screw on the passenger side because they left out sealent around the windshield,water gets down in the passenger side. Take off the panel by the fuse box towards the door and check the ground,its usally russted away. Take and put in a new ground screw or use one already there.

This could potentially be caused by a fuse or relay problem.
To check for a fuse problem, you will need to locate the fuse panel in your vehicle. This is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car, or in the engine compartment. The fuse panel will have a diagram showing the location and function of each fuse. You can check the fuses to see if any are blown or damaged. If you find a blown fuse, you can replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
To check for a relay problem, you will need to locate the relay panel in your vehicle. This is usually located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. The relay panel will have a diagram showing the location and function of each relay. You can check the relays to see if any are damaged or not functioning properly. If you find a faulty relay, you can replace it with a new one.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking the fuses and relays, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

If the mini fuse for the windshield wipers is good, then you can try checking the relay fuse next. The relay fuse is responsible for controlling the power supply to the windshield wipers. If the relay fuse is blown, it could be causing the wipers to not work. You can check the relay fuse by looking in the fuse box under the hood or in the interior of the vehicle. Additionally, you may want to check the wiring and connections to the wipers to make sure there are no loose or damaged wires.

It is generally not recommended to disconnect the power to the keyless entry system on your Ford F-150, as this can cause problems with the operation of your vehicle and may affect its security. Instead, it is usually best to try to identify and fix the issue that is causing the problem with the keyless entry system. Some potential causes of problems with the keyless entry system on a Ford F-150 include a dead battery in the key fob, a malfunctioning key fob, or a problem with the vehicle's keyless entry receiver.

Bruce from United States a year ago
The fact that the radio and door chime will not shut off, even with the key out and the lights off, could be caused by a problem with the electrical system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the radio and door chime fuse. The radio and door chime are powered by a separate fuse, and if this fuse is blown, it could cause the radio and door chime to stay on. Locate the fuse panel and check the radio and door chime fuse to see if it is blown or damaged.
Check the radio and door chime wiring. The radio and door chime are powered by a separate wiring harness, and if there is a problem with the wiring, it could cause the radio and door chime to stay on. Check the wiring harness and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded wires. Make sure all connections are secure and free of any visible damage.
Check the radio and door chime switch. The radio and door chime are controlled by a separate switch, and if this switch is malfunctioning, it could cause the radio and door chime to stay on. Check the switch to see if it is functioning properly.
Check the radio and door chime module. The radio and door chime are controlled by a separate module, and if this module is malfunctioning, it could cause the radio and door chime to stay on. Check the module to see if it is functioning properly.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

The windows were cracked open and it rained but even then my dome lights worked they have no stopped my key chime has stopped the back light and em flashers still light up the cluster nothing else... I cant find a single reason with a physical inspection. IDK just taking a shot in the dark, could the PATS system right in the center in the cab had gotten soaked for days. I had to pull the carpet and stuffing and let drain and vacuumed out the water it took a day or 2 to finish everything is dy now. I need help and have to escape my parents house that's in my name... A situation so bad its enough to make your stomach turn.

Rear windows 30amp circuit breaker

Ford F-150 2011 XLT 96000 miles
My thermal camera is showing the rear windows 30amp fuse is hot. Truck is cold and asleep. I have a parasitic power drain on battery. Wondering if this could be it and what’s causing it?

I disconnect all associated fuses and relay and it remains hot. Makes no sense! Does it have some sort of capacitor function that it would remain hot?

Had the same problem with my 2006. There is an accessory delay relay in in the fuse panel that I needed to replace. Not sure about your year. Maybe a faulty ignition switch if no relay.

For me, the ignition cylynder was broken, in such a way that it was possible to leave the accessories on all the time. For that problem you can either get a new ignition cylynder or rotate it to the proper off position always. Own same make same year.

No Brake lights (except third), but turnsignals, and running lights wo

Ford F-150 2000  150000 miles
Brake lights do not work, (third above the window does work), Turn signals work and running lights do as well.

Since the third light works I assumed it was not the switch... I checked all fuses and they were all good. I changed all bulbs, just to check and the same results.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you are experiencing multiple electrical issues with your 2003 Ford F-150. There could be a number of reasons why these issues are occurring, and it will be necessary to diagnose the problem to determine the cause.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the fuses. The fuses for the dashboard lights, radio, and parking lights are typically located in the main fuse box under the hood. Check the fuses to see if they are blown and replace them if necessary.
Check the wiring. Make sure that all of the wiring for the dashboard lights, radio, and parking lights is secure and undamaged.
Check the electrical components. Make sure that all of the electrical components, such as the dashboard lights, radio, and parking lights, are functioning properly.
Check the battery. Make sure that the battery is charged and that there are no problems with the battery cables or connections.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the electrical system is functioning correctly.

A friend of mine took his ford in for an oil change and they destroyed his turbo charge system and then tried to tell him that it was not their fault. He ended up getting a new truck. File a claim against the company after getting a trusted mech to tell you what went wrong
