After several days of rain, I will find that the dash board equipment (lights, fan, radio,etc) are powered up w/o key being in the ignition. This will cause the battery to die if not caught quickly. I've been able to temporily disconnect the battery and re-connect and start the engine after 5-minute wait. However, after I got home and turned off the engine tonight, the dash equipment stayed powered up ... so I disconnected the battery again and hope it will start again tomorrow morning. Since this has only happened twice after several days of rain, I think it's either a wiring or relay short. Any ideas?
