2006 F150 4.6l....radio plays whenever it wants, even when locked and keys are not in it. This weekend, Daytime running lights on, radio playing,wipers and heater coming on, again with no keys in it. The fuse panel has a clicking noise when this activity is happeneing and the wipers and heater are in the on position and work in cycle with the clicking in the fuse panel (intermitent). ABS light stays on. OBD codes came back as the following C1266 and B1342
The problem splice is usually covered in something that looks like hockey tape, and when it gets wet, allows the splice to corrode. The best repair is to cut back far enough to get clean wire, and use marine heat shrink ( the type that has the goo in it that seals the heat shrink )

Have you had vehicle check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes . Check fuse's an relays , find wiring diagrams to see what controls these systems ?
Radio/Battery fuse , fuse G 10 amp located in the right instrument panel fuse box . Do you know where this ?
Fuse Block - Right IP - On the right side of the instrument panel
An there is one on the other end of the instrument panel ,driver side .
Fuse Block - Left IP- On the left side of the instrument panel The fuel an temp . gauges not working is probably the step motors inside instrument cluster . GM had problem with this 03 to 06 . How to repair GM Instrument Cluster Speedometer Gauge Stepper
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal it will either turn on the daytime running lights (DRL) or the headlights. Any function or condition that turns on the headlights will cancel the daytime running lamps operation. With the headlight switch in the OFF position, the headlights will either be turned ON or OFF, after an approximate 30 second delay depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. The HTR A/C IGN fuse in the underhood junction block supplies ignition positive voltage to the daytime running lamp (DRL) relay coil circuit. The DRL relay switch contacts are connected to the low beam circuit. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the BCM will either turn on or off the daytime running lamps, depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. The BCM energizes the DRL relay, closing the switch contacts and grounding the low beam circuit. Ground is provided at G101. The DRL illuminate the low beam headlights at a reduced intensity. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position, the gear selector is not in the PARK position and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.
DRL operation in Manual Transmission equipped vehicles will occur when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and the parking brake is released. - check fuse's an relay first.
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
?€¢
Driver door lock switch
?€¢
Front Passenger door lock switch
?€¢
Body Control Module (BCM)
?€¢
Relays: Driver Door Unlock--if equipped, Door Unlock, and Door Lock
The daytime running lights should not flash when locking/unlocking the vehicle. It should be the park lights that flash. You may have changed the wrong bulbs. These lights operate from a sensor located in the center of the dash and use the suns ultra violet rays to go from daytime lights to headlights. Make sure this sensor is not obstructed/covered by anything that may be on top of the dash.
I would say it is most likely your battery cable came loose.
Check the battery with a test light or voltmeter.
Could be you burned out some inline fusible link?
Is your security light flashing? If so, your onboard security system has disabled the starter. The security system can be reset (providing you are using the ORIGINAL key for the car) you may have to hook up a battery charger to accomplish this. First hook up the battery charger then when you get in the car, set the parking brake before turning the ignition on. This will keep the daytime running lights from coming on. Then turn the key to the RUN position and wait for the security light to stop flashing. (This takes about 10 minutes.) Then, without turning the key off, turn the key to the START position. The engine should start.
If this doen't work, you will probably have to wait until your wife gets home so you can reset the security system by using the remote to lock the unlock the doors.
I would also recommend investing in a second remote and key so you don't have this problem in the future. The second key and remote is pretty easy to progrm on your vehicle. This can be done either by the dealer or most aftermarket repair shops. You MAY even want to try to do it yourself. Instructions for programming additional keys and remotes are located in your Owner's Manual.
Simply put it sounds like you have something draining the battery, the daytime running lights came out way before 2001. I have a 98 and there are daytime running lights on mine. When the vehicle is running there should be a green light in your cluster in the top left corner, that comes on whenever you start the truck. that signal also will shut off when you actually turn your headlights on. if there are any accessories plugged in or running live, lights, amp/subs, xm radio, car charger for a cell phone. Anything like this could be draining the battery, along with interior light left on. Check everything make sure all is either unplugged, disconnected, or turned off. That should about solve the problem... hopefully. Good Luck!
Dash lights were falsing ? I assume you mean pulsing .
driving lights come on ? daytime running lights or park lamps ,does the vehicle have daytime running lamps . Daytime running lamps module .
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Module (Headlamp Auto Control Module)
Mounted behind the radio and the HVAC control, left of the instrument panel compartment.
