Re: dash battery light on

I would test to see if there is a short in one of your circuits that is draining the battery overnight.

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

Place a test light between the the cable and the battery terminal.

Insure all doors are closed and any thing else that would illuminate a light or cause an open circuit.

If the test light is illuminated you have a short in a circuit.

To find the circuit responsible, remove a fuse, close the door and see if test light is still iluminated.

There are those occasions when more than one circuit could be the culprit.

On a Grand Marquis I had to remove ever fuse then start replacing them one at a time, with only one in the fuse block at a time.

Hope this helps
