you must be missing a ground or have a lose ground somewhere. try grounding the body to the frame and engine.

Im thinking more like you have a wire that has rubbed through and is making contact somewhere. Try removing one fuse at a time from your fuse block and see if the frame power goes away. If it does, then you know which circuit is the culprit.
