Smart Junction Box- My Experience
Hey everyone Im kinda new to posting but not new to this forum. I visit everyday since I bought my GT in Mar 06. Very problem free since i got the car but on March 3rd while on a road trip to corpus christi i had problems with something. On morning startup all warning lights came on and message center said nothing worked, also no blinkers or stop lights . Took it to champion ford and they were very courteous but ignorant. They had it for 6 hours and the diagnosis was faulty instr. cluster. They said it would take 1 to 2 weeks to get. Told them just to write a ticket so I could take to my dealership at home. I had to disconnect the battery so everything would reset. Drove back home no problems, take it to my dealer inLubbock Tx(Gene Messer Ford) they look at diagnosis and order me an instr. cluster It takes 3 weeks to arrive. I drop the car off on Wed mar 28th and they replace the cluster. that wasnt it. they then proceed to replace the SJB and check for water leaks. I get the car back on Fri Mar 30th. no problems guess when they changed out SJB it had new software cause now i have DRL and my doors lock when I put it in gear. Worked fine all weekend then on tueApr 3rd it happened again all lights came on. Took it in and they gave me aloaner. They had no idea what the problem was. They spent all day tue,wed,thu on the phone with ford tech and ford told them to check for water intrusion. they could not find a leak and they couldnt figure out what was causing the problem. I got my car back on fri Apr 6th and no problems yet. Dealers have been super nice. Also a lot of rain here and when it is nice i like to wash her to keep her clean. Just thought i would let everyone know my experience. sorry for the length.
