Weird short
1997 F350 Crew Cab, 7.3 ltr Diesel, 4x4
The worse it's been was today. It was pouring and the windshield wipers, power windows and radio didn't work. When I pulled the fuse for the wipers (which was fine), the radio came on. If I then turned the defroster or the air conditioner on, the radio lost power and if I tried the power windows, the radio would go off and back on when I released the button.
Parked it for awhile and when I sarted it the next time all worked? ? ?
I haven't had time to dig in but was wondering if anyone had any ideas? ? ?

I thought the trucks with the windshield leak problems were later models than yours, but maybe you have that problem too. They had a windshield leak that would run down and ruin the GEM module, which made all kinds of crazy things happen, and it would also get in behind the fuse box and corroded all the connections inside it.

I had the same problem last night. I lost the wipers, windows, info dispay and radio. If a pull a fuse some times I can get the windows to work for few seconds then pop..... it sounds like it kicks a relay and the door dig comes on and no more power windows. I check all the fuses and they are all good. How do you know if it has the leak problem????
Thanks and hope you let us know what you find out.
