Hello all,
Long time member here but it's been a while since I've posted. I have a question that I'll put right at the top and if you want to read how I got here you can. I know if there's anyone on the Internet anywhere that might have the answer it's most definitely someone on this forum. Thanks for reading ahead of time!
I am in desperate need of a company or even just a person who is familiar with repairing the smart junction box from a 2005 Mustang GT Premium. If anybody knows of a service like this I would greatly appreciate the contact info.
This car is extremely important to me and without this Smart Junction Box or Body Control Module (whatever it's actually called) my Mustang is as you probably know, an expensive lawn ornament.
Read below if you want to read the story behind how I got here:
I have an issue with my 2005 Mustang GT that I've owned since new. Over the years I've fixed all the water leaks in my car and then a while back I got t-boned by some moron who ran a stop sign. She hit me right where the passenger door meets the fender.
My insurance company wanted to total the car, that only had 50k on the odometer at the time, and they did. This car means so much to me that I took the money they gave me and had it fixed. When I mean fixed I went around the car and circled every problem and had a brand new paint job. This even left me with some $$ left over.
Last week we had a heavy rainstorm here in NYC and I realized that I had to find all the leaks again because the passenger side carpet was soaked again. This time it was a new one for me. It was the large grommet that gets the wiring harness through the firewall that the body shop didnt seal properly. I took the carpet out and dried it, installed the grommet properly and even sealed it with RTV and made sure all of the other usual suspects weren't also letting water in. After I reinstalled everything, charged the battery, started the car and was about to take her out for a spin only to realize that so much of my electronics inside the car were acting erratically. I realized among the other strange electrical problems that I now had was also a check engine light. I immediately got out my diagnostic scanner (Xtool D8) and it pulled nearly 30 codes just from that SJB.
I now have the circuit board in my house out of its case with a fan on it hoping that its just some water intrusion. The is some evidence of water getting in through at least 2 of the harness plugs but nothing crazy on the board itself. Between all the water and the accident that looked like she was aiming at that SJB I'm guessing it's more than a simple dry, clean and reinstall job.
So with all this said I would really like a professional to test this module and repair it if possible. If you made it here I'm sorry for the long post but I guess I needed to vent.
Thanks again all!
