Front windshield is leaking and moisture is dripping into the fuse block... I had a 01 Excursion did the same thing.

Have a glass company come out and pull windshield and re-seal it. Depends on how long it's been doing it as how bad the corrosion is. But my Excursion did the same thing it would just kill the batteries overnight.

Think I would verify that before pulling the windshield! Do you have a DMM and the ability to test the charging/starting system?
