2002 Ford Expaditon draining battery after an hour of turning off the car.

What is your question?

This happens every time I drive my car. I get a jump and it starts and drives with no problems. Battery drains completely 1 hour after turning off the car.. I was told it is a electrical short in the steering column. the blinker switch does not stay up or down.

What makes this problem better or worse?

I have to unplug the battery or it will die.

How long has your 2002 Ford Expedition had this problem?

Almost a year
