Buzzing kills
I have a 00 f150 5.4 xlt.
When it rains the relay in the num1 spot under dash buzzes. But it only buzzes when the doors are shut. And does not stop when the truck is started. Also something under the hood clicks under the fuse box area.it's so random that I've had trouble locating it. I am forced to unhook my battery every Time it rains. This problem has already cost me 2 batteries due to being drained dead too many times.any ideas or past fixes dealings with similar problems would be most appreciated.

Robert,
I would bet you are having a wet GEM problem since it only occurs when it rains. Check for leaks above the module.
This little "GEM" is attached to the back of the interior fuse panel, under the dash.
These trucks are known to have leaky windshields (and rear windows.) The water runs down behind the dash and enters the GEM, causing allot of problems like this.
