Electrical Proplems

I have a 97 150 with 4.6 4x4 . My proplem is that the battery drains overnight and after i start my engine it has no instruments, also my airbag module fuse under the hood keeps blowing. Has anybody every had these issues before?

Thanks Jeff

Leaking windshield with water damage in the GEM module? Just a guess. Good luck!

The gem was the first item i replaced because it had that burnt smell, it did give me back my 4x4,door chimes and windshield wipers. I,m still dealing with my battery being drawn down ,no instruments/gauges and my airbag module is fried.

thanks jeff

I have a '98 F150 with problems too. The back-up lights dont work at all, nothing on the trailer plugs work, and now my lift turn/brake lights don't work. I cut the wire on the reverse lights to add more under the bumper (so I could acually see behind me) and I thing water got into my system.

I think it may be your problem if you cut / spliced any wires; and/or off roaded hard on it. But, just a guess based on my truck.
