I have a 1997 Ford F-150, 4x4 extended cab, long bed, automatic,w/98000 miles on it. It's in decent shape as well. Recently, after a rainy day or humid mornings - live in Houston,there is an electrical short where the windows, dome light and wipers don't work. One day to three days later, everything works again - I'm guessing it's related to moisture but not sure. Any suggestions welcomed.

I'll bet its a leaking windshield onto the GEM module or the fuse box search it on google or on here you'll see what I'm talking about had problems with mine too its common with 97's

Hi I have a 2000 ford f150 ext. cab 5.4L and I have some odd electrical problems on it. For instance the odometer light will flicker on/off, the turn signals/emergency flashers don't work, and the emergency brake light doesn't work at all. I have checked the ground from the battery and it seems to look okay; I even cleaned the ends of it to get a better connection, but that didn't help. Please help me!!

I seem to have a similar issue - I've got the 99 f150 4.6 XLT, which gets electrical gremlins when it gets cold.....below about -25 C I lose the power windows, the radio and the oddometer display. After driving for about 10 mins as everything warms up, they magically work again.

I think it must be one of the relays getting tired, any thoughts?

So I'm not the only one. Have a 97 4.6 XLT. When it gets cold, the ABS light, brake light and seat belt light come on. The turn signals don't work and the heater/AC fan doesn't work. After the truck warms up - bingo, everything back to normal. What do they have in common?

You all are having issue with the blk head connector under the hood. Check it for corrosion.
