Power Windows Global Access NOT working after SJB replace - Is this fixable? HOW?
05 Mustang with build date 1/7/05 has Active Anti-theft and HAD Global Access (power window down with Key FOB) until dealer replaced defective wiper motor and Smart Junction Box (SJB). SJB water damaged (see TSB 07-14-06) and dealer replaced SJB. When car was delivered had DRLs (Datime Running Lights) on and no Global Access power windows.
After a LONG TIME they were able to turn off the DRLs but Global Access does not work.
Tech said he did the Inhale/Exhale procedure (after I told them about it). If this is true shouldn't the DRL bit have been OFF as this was a US car not a Canadian one and the ASBUILT data should have reflected this.

Here is a excerpt from the Hotline Assistance Request they showed me:

"according to ssm20128 the vehicle should not have this option to begin with according to build date".

"there was an internal change to the sjb that will no lnger allow the feature to operate. Suggest contacting your zone office if further assistance is needed".

What the heck is an SSM? particularily ssm20128.

I believe the Global Access feature which was in the original SJB is SOFTWARE.
HOW can this be RE-ENABLED?

I worked with software for over 30 years and know a lot of things are possible.

Can someone with technical knowledge please respond.

SSM= Special service message

you are going to have to goto the dealer and let them reenable it using the NGS or WDS.

Dealer claims it is NOT POSSIBLE to program the new SJB. I disagree. If its an eprom or other programmable chip it can be REPROGRAMMED. Thought that all options were in the PCM or BCM not the SJB. What gives?
