I OWN A 2005 MUSTANG GT COUPE 5-SPEED WHICH HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE IT WAS PICKED UP FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. AT TIME OF INCIDENT IT HAD 29,*** MILES. THE CAR WAS ONLY HAND WASHED AND IN ONLY A HANDFUL OF RAINY DAYS. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THE CAR GETS TAKEN OFF FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE AND COVERED. WHEN SPRING TIME ARRIVED IT WAS UNCOVERED AND READY TO BE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED UP AS IT WOULD WHEN RUNNING IT THOUGH THE WINTER. UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS LEFT UNCOVERED IN A RAINSTORM SHORTLY AFTER. THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT WAS STARTED THE CLUSTER GAUGE WENT OUT. WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME UP AND OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE EXTREME SMELL OF ELECTRICAL FIRE WAS PRESENT. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND FUSES INSPECTED. THERE WAS DAMPNESS WITHIN THE PASSENGER SIDE CARPET. SO, I THEN CHECKED THE SMART JUNCTION BOX* LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL. IT HAD A THIN WHITE SHEET OF FOAM COVERING IT WHICH LOOKED ODD TO ME. I SAW THAT THE FUSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CLUSTER GAUGE HAD BURNT UP AND BROKE. I REPLACED IT WITH THE SAME AMP FUSE AND IT POPPED THEN SMOKE ONCE AGAIN CAME OUT FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE SAME ELECTRICAL SMELL FOLLOWED. NOT ONE LIGHT OR NEEDLE WORKS ON THE GAUGES OTHER THAN THE YELLOW AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH REMAINS ON. TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON, REVERSE LIGHTS, DOOR/LIGHT CHIME, AND AC DO NOT WORK. TSB 08-26-7 REPORT EXISTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WONT HONOR THEIR ROLE IN THIS ISSUE. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECTLY
