Exclamation Electrical Problem 2000 F250

The last few times I've givin my truck a wash it has caused some sort of electrical problem. It will do anything from continuously honk or trigger the radio to stay on when key is out and doors are closed. But every time it seems to make the dome light to stay on. Has anyone had this problem or a similar problem? If so please share how you fixed it.

Your windshield is probably leaking. It could be getting all over the fuse box, pcm, or gem module.

Hey TD I found that there is in fact a windshield leak coming in from a bad part of the seal on the top passenger side. Could it still effect the GEM and the fuse box from there?
Also it is now causing my speedometer to jump and my O/D light to flash, which sounds to me like a VSS problem. Do you know if the parts you were talking about that could possibly be getting wet be causing all of this as well?
