I don't know if my problems is electrical also. My radio is freaking out - causing all of the dash lights to go on and then the radio resets its self. I'm bringing my car in today.

I haven't had this issue with my mustang yet (by the way, you might check the battery cables to make sure they are tight... I know thats obvious, but I've actually forgotten to tighten'em before), but a friend of mine had an 03 or 04 f-250 that kept having electrical problems. after several trips to the dealer they finally replaced his junction i.e. "relay" box saying that rain water had somehow gotten into it and fried it? Not sure if that was actually what happened or not, but replacing the relay box fixed it. Good luck with it, & let us all know how it turns out.

thank you and will keep you posted.
By the way, I noticed that a couple of my fuses are pointing in the wrong direction compared to Sceamin Yellow car.
Here is the on that I got from Gallery

On my car the Fuel pump relay and AC clutch are facing the passenger side of the car instead of Engine.
Can you guys take a snap shot of what the fuse box should look like?

well, just picked up the car. Tech said that he couldn't replicate the problem but judging from all the codes decided to replace Junction box. The whole fuse box assembly. I am still confused on my PCM 2 relay. looks like it is facing wrong way compared to picture. Can you guys please help. Is your 7018 PCM relay facing toward engine or towards the passenger wheel?

Was this the box in the passenger side footwell? My fan relay keeps blowing for no apparent reason and I'm thinking this may be the culprit!!!!

The SJB is probably bad because of the passenger side water leak most
have. Check under the passengers side carpet for signs of water intrusion....
A new SJB will just get wet again and go bad....
Gotta fix the water leak as well.
There are 2 TSBs out on the infamous 'water leak'.
