Mine does that once in while, not really sure why. I always thought it was the battery dying. .

Bump for you.

Yep, battery dying...that's exactly it. Whenever you disconn the battery, it'll do the full sweep thing you saw. Right now, you battery isn't holding enough charge to keep it alive for the 2 weeks.

I also have this problem and I could tell the battery was getting weak. I plan on buying another next month. I don't drive mine everyday either.

Thank guys!!!!! The ford tech told me last month that my batt was slowly dying (like 340 Amp instead of 540...). Look like its time for an Optima Red Top!!!
