I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 MODEL MUSTANG GT FROM JIM SKINNER HONDA IN DOTHAN ALABAMA. THE VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT WATER LEAK INTO THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD AND INTO THE SMART JUNCTION BOX AREA. THE WATER PENETRATES INTO THE WIRING HARNESSES AND BOX ITSELF. BEING THAT MOST OPERATIONS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED IT IS MY OPINION (MECHANIC) THAT WATER INTRUSION INTO THIS AREA COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE FAILURE AND HAS CAUSED LIGHTING MALFUNCTIONS ON THE TAILLIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN RAINING THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY EXPERIENCES ELECTRICAL GHOSTS OF VARIOUS SORTS. ALSO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DURING SOME HEAVY WATER INTRUSION INSTANTS. BUT GIVEN TIME THIS PROBLEM CAN AND WILL LEAD TO A FIRE OR A ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION CAUSING A CRASH AND/OR DEATH. *TR
