Electrical Issues!! Plz help!

So i came home tonight and my f-350's horn was blaring. My neighbor told me the cd was cutting on every few minutes, playing the same riff (Schism by Tool) then cutting off. It has been doing this for the past four hours. Earlier this week I noticed my fan turn on with switch set at everything but off. I unplugged my - battery post and the next morning the battery was dead. Any ideas???

So yall have my though process of what the issue MAY be-
-crossed wire under dash
-ignition lock and key replacement
-Jealous ex g/f put a curse on it
- I have unknowingly crossed the Ford Truck God

I think you can rule out crossing a Ford Truck God lol!

Have the battery load tested to start. Go over all of your grounds and check through the wiring harness in the engine compartment for any chaffing or cuts. See if you can pull any engine codes just too make sure

grounds would make sense. I notices a small puddle after some heavy *** rain under the steering wheel.

This would happen to my truck...

Your fuse box and/or PCM may be gettin' wet if you have water on that side, goofy things happen then!

Check your windshield, cab lights, etc for leaks.

Here's some threads relative to that issue:

horn i think was because of being wet. Imma seal my cab lights today. I changed my fuses. The radio and heater issue have been on going. Is there a relay that the fan and radio have in common?
