4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2007

I purchased this Ford f150 1999 about seven years ago. I have noticed from the first time I drove it, when I first start it up I hear a series of dings (like ones you would hear for seat belt not fastened), but the seat belts are fastened. My radio sometimes has power and works, other times it has no power to come on. Sometimes my odometer is on and I can read my mileage, most of the time its off. Sometimes when the blower fan is being used it does not go of when the ignition key is turned off and removed, the only way to stop this problem is to disconnect the battery. I have heard on occasions, a clicking sound behind the dashboard area, again the only way to make this problem stop was to disconnect the battery connections. I fear it may lead to, or cause a fire somehow. Most of the time I can leave my truck parked, and start it up the next day, sometimes after sitting over night the battery is mysteriously drained dead the next morning. I have been diligent to make sure I have left nothing on that could in any way drain the battery. I fear these are manufacturer problems, do I have any options to get these issues repaired?.
