Ford F150 - Display wont go off,

Need some serious help here. Today after a good rain storm I went to my truck and when I opened the door the radio came on (keys were not in it and it had been parked for about 4 hours). When I hit the door lock button on the key fob the doors locked but the radio stayed on, the display said "check gauges", and all the warning lights came on. Also the anti theft light kept rapidly blinking. There was some water in the passenger side floor board, trying to find where the leak came from, cause all the windows were up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It sounds like you may have gotten water in the fuse block which is shorting stuff together.

I just had this same water problem.. I first had water in the back seat area. This came from the seal on the third brake light. I also had water on the passenger floor in the front. This leak came from bad seam sealer in the cowl area. I did not have any electrical problems.

Ok I think I took care of the the electrical problem and maby the water problem. I had recently installed the Edge Evolution and changed the setting. I reset the previous setting and the ghostie didnt want to go muddin any more. There is also a small plastic piece just above the fuse box on the passenger side wall that had fell out. It has not rained much since and I havent been able to see if that was it. Thanks for the help.
