I also have an F150 Ford truck, 1999. It appears to have a mind of its own and does similar things. Good running truck just has electrical issues inside the cab like yours. My windshield wipers come on and go off by themselves so I put in off/on switch next to the column so I can turn them off and keep them off. My door locks didn’t work, Factory ones burn out quickly and replaced with non Ford substitute now they work great. Overtime I’ve replaced both window motors, also used replacements instead of originals, I do miss the auto up and down but I’d rather have it working then having to keep replacing motors.
OK, here’s its latest issue. When it rains, the internal electronics will not shut off. What I mean by that is, I can drive the truck bring it home and park it and everything goes off. I come back later and see that the radio is on, windows can work, but ignition is off (I hope). I have replaced the ignition switch, problem still persists. I can hear a relay under the dash click a few times and then the radio comes on. Crank the truck up run it a minute turn it off everything goes off, then in a few minutes later the radio comes back on by itself. Can drain the battery down overnight. Seems to have a mind of its own. Once the atmosphere dries back out it acts normal again. There is no leak inside the cabin that I can find. When I’m done using it now, I just unplug the battery. Somewhere there is probably a computer that controls everything thats gone flaky, hopefully it doesn’t control the airbags or brakes. Someday you’ll figure out your problem as well, or just rewire that particular area that you’re having trouble with.
