6.0 f250 electrical question

[Tannerm]

Friend has his daughters 03-04 F250 with a 6.0l. The truck has an odd issue where the interior gauges and lights come on after the truck is off. Approx. 15 seconds after shutdown, the interior lights and gauges come on without fail. Obviously kills the battery.
My thoughts were the windshield seals on these trucks were apparently shit, so water would get in and fry the GEM. He's also been told the issue may be a fried fuse box... anyone able to shed some light on this? Only other known issue a.c. works awesome at low rpm, once he gets going it warms up.

Try going to f150forum.com and doing a search. I'm a member there but I have a 08 so I'm always in that section. It could be the dash cluster, it's a known problem for the 04-08. Good luck
