Asked by william__1970 Feb 21, 2017 at 03:18 PM about the 1990 Ford E-Series E-350 STD Club Wagon Passenger Van Extended

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the lock cylinder is in the lock position and nothing is on within the instrument
panel. the only way I can keep the batteries charged is to disconnect the
negative cables until I'm ready to start it. Then it is fine

There is a short somewhere going to need to track it down, May need to use a short finder, they sell them at Amazon and other at some locations. I will upload a photo but it may get deleted by the site since it is not my photo.
