1999 F350 dash problems

We have a 1999 F-350 V10 super duty. The alt was over charging and the guages stopped working. Replaceing the alt, the guages still don't work, and the new thing is the charge light and selt belt light comes on. The fuses 29 (5amp)and 30(30Amp) which are supposed to be key on hot only are hot at the same time. With these on, it causes a drain killing the battery. Also if the truck is started, the lights go out, but when you try to turn the vehicle off, it stays running, one with the battery disconnected. The only way to shut it down is pull the fuse box power fuse, 50(amp)Some one had been in the dash before we got this vehicle and busted, burned out or removed the check engine light. I can read codes and ther vehicle runs fairand does operate. Could this be a dash board? Also this problem appears when the truck is sitting, and the key removed nothing on. No fuses are blown either.

Is this a new to you truck that you just acquired as a project? What is the number of the 50 amp fuse you are pulling to make it stop? And is it under the hood or under the dash?

It was somethying we brought recently. It has been a trouble maker from the start. It is the Junction box battery feed number 22 under the hood.

This fuse feeds a lot of stuff. I started making a list but it got too long, and when I ran across the brake pressure switch, I stopped. This brake pressure switch is the one that was recalled because it started people's vehicles on fire. You need to check this switch.

It's usually mounted on the master cylinder. Unplug the wiring plug going to this switch and see if that cures your problem. These switches short out, and then bad things happen. When you umplig it, the only thing that will be affected is the cruise control.
