I have a 2002 F150 SuperCrew that recently started having electrical problems...It is a loaded Lariat 4x4 with the 5.4l engine, and off0road pkg. Two nights ago, I noticed that the heated seats wouldn't work, and that the compass wasn't lit up. After a stop to get coffee, I started the truck, and they came on again. It was fine for 2 days, then yesterday, I noticed that it sounded like the heat/air conditioning fan was running, and the vehicle had no keys in it...apparently it had been like that all day, because I went to grab the keys, and the truck wouldn't turn over as the battery was completely drained...CAN ANYONE HELP?????????????

The ghost is gone...a leaky windshield allowed water to run onto the fusebox and allow current to run through, shorting out across some terminals.
