3 weeks and your battery is dead? DEAD! I'd get a new battery from Ford. My car has been sitting in the garage for almost 5 months now and it's still going strong.

if your battery is going dead after only three weeks I would also check into this TSB.

Yeah, there are a few things I have heard of that contribute to a dead battery. One was the CD player, another was the active alarm and if you google it you will find others.

There is actually a TSB for the radio as well but I can't seem to find it right now.Here is a link to most of the TSB:
