I have put in 3 new batteries in the last year. They go dead after about 3 or 4 months.I've had it to the
Ford dealer twice and they can't find anything wrong
with it. I've noticed the fuel gauge stays active and another gauge as well when I turn the truck off. They say thats normal in this truck. I have been the sole owner of this truck for 15 years with no other problems. Any suggestions?
