 Short in my truck I have a f-350 and everytime it rains and lightings my truck radio will come on or my batteries will die. Now when it rains I will start my truck and it will be idleing and the starter will try to enguage. I put bondo on all the holes that I think where water was comin in but it is still comin in by my firewall by my parkin break. and there is always power to my windows when my truch is off. When Im drivin the battery guage will go up to 18 and back down to 15 or 14. I cant fimd where it is shorting out. Yall have any idea what is goin on?

Re: Short in my truck my horn has been out for a long time. I did find a place on 16th st that will inspect it. It is just a pita everytime it rains. My speedometer jumps and my over drive light on my column blinks. Now I have two wires from my cylonoid and batt to the inside of my truck to start. I changed the cylinoid out and still wont start with out turnin the key and touchin the two wires together.

Re: Short in my truck the computer is on the drivers side behind the E brake pedal.
The grounds off the batteries ground to the front of the block on my 02', should be the same on yours
I think the GEM is under the dash and it could be getting wet, do a google search im sure you'll find something
