1998 F150 dies in the rain
My 1998 F150's battery dies when it rains. Has been doing it for years. I have two possible causes, my grandpa used to have a shell on the bed, and the wire from it is sitting there uncovered, and the rear sliding window has a crack letting water leak in. A couple years ago, my grandpa added the wrong antifreeze to the truck, and he said that there was a lot of steam and a hissing noise from the passenger side footwell. I have a feeling this could be causing it too. Would the steam have done something to the computer?

I would start with the fuse boxes.

Yep start with the fuse box , also check your battery cables and all your grounds - Clean all your grounds !!

First look at any grounds take them off and clean them - or check with a meter , next check any fusible links those are harder to identify , down by starter , fuse box area , they can be anywhere , look in your manual the manual should tell you where they are located and how to check them, test all relays sometimes a week relay can react weird in rain , look for any burnt wires .

You'll want to get any leaks repaired.
Electric + rainwater doesn't mix. |
