2005 Ford Mustang Gt

AFTER HEAVY RAIN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING STRAIT, IN THE RAIN ON A CITY STREET. I NOTICED MY RADIO TURNED OFF. THEN ALSO NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS AND BLINKERS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION BEFORE IT GOT TOO DARK I STOPPED AND TESTED ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHTS. ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON (ALTHOUGH I HAD ATLEAST A HALF TANK) TCS LIGHT AND ALSO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER PARKING THE MUSTANG IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL I HAD TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE FLOOR OF THE CAB (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS DAMP. THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD (LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, RED TOP OPTIMA) AND THERE WAS MOLD ACTUALLY GROWING IN PARTS OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND IT COMMON FROM A FAILED PLUG UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEXT TO THE A/C FILTER. CAUSING THE WATER TO FILL UP BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND ULTIMATELY LEAKING INSIDE THE CAB ONTO THE SJB (SMART JUNCTION BOX) LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF ELECTRONICS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE IS MOLD GROWING IN MY CAR FROM THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY

AT FIRST THE BACK UP LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THEN GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND STAY OFF EVEN WHILE STILL IN REVERSE. THE TACH WOULD SHOW YOU DOING ABOUT 800 RPM'S NO MATTER THE SPEED AND WHEN I BACKED IT IN THE GARAGE AFTER RETURNING FROM FORD, THE TACH SHOWED 9000 RPM WHILE IN PARK AND KEY OFF. VEHICLE STUDDERS WHEN DRIVING LIKE ITS STARVING FOR FUEL, FORD TOLD ME ALL OF THIS IS RELATED TO THE SJB. THEY SAY IT'S CORRODED FROM COFFEE OR SOME FLUID GETTING ON IT. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY WONT CALL IT IN BECAUSE THE TEXT SAID IT WAS COFFEE BUT WOULD NOT SAY HOW THE COFFEE GOT UP BEHIND THE KICK PANEL (PASS SIDE) UNDER DASH AREA. FORD HAS TSB 08-26-7, BUT WONT REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE AND NO RECALLS ISSUED, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. *TR
