Here is a good one from a Mustang owner:
Re: 2005 Mustang GT Electrical Problems
Thanks, the dealer called me and advised the problem is with one of the many junction boxes (Fuse Box) that receives the signal from the key fob. The junction box controls door locks, windows, convertible tops. Some mustangs have different features on the fobs. On mine if I push the unlock button the drivers door unlocks and the interior light turns on. when I push it a second time it unlocks the passenger door. Some mustangs when the unlock is pushed twice the windows roll down or the top folds down. But they all have the same junction box if they were build before January of 05, which mine was. That is when ford changed the box. Not because their was a problem with the box, but enough concern by ford engineers that they decided to change it. Well this is food for thought for anyone else who has this problem. I filed a claim with my insurance company do to all of the water which is causing all of the other problems. I haven't heard back from the claims office, but the dealer has all but assured me, due to the amount of water damage to some of the other electrical components the car will be totaled. I am absolutely sick over this.
And this:
Replacement of serpentine belt pulley with bad bearing Both rear quarter windows have seals that are torn near the top (car is a convertible). Mustang emblem on steering wheel is corroded. Serpentine belt idler pulley replaced Air bag assembly replaced to fix corroded steering wheel emblem.
Jun 2009 21000 0 Both windows replaced and aligned as per TSB 8-17-3 Engine makes a ticking noise, at all temperatures, loudest at 1200 RPM. Engine knock occurring during light-load upshifts at 3000-4000RPM, also intermittently under load at 5000RPM and above. Left front O2 sensor was found to have a slow response and was replaced under warranty. Second, more detailed examination of engine ticking noise at 1200RPM. Noise found to be loudest at intake runner for cyl. #4. Other likely sources eliminated. (Bellhousing, injectors, cam covers, etc.) Was told noise is "normal". Cloth convertible top shows wear near Bow 1 on passenger side. Referred service adviser to TSB 07-19-1. Was told damage was not consistent with TSB.

water leakage resulted in electrical short to headlight. Headlight stayed on. Fixed under warranty
Nov 2008 Short in lighting right front and right rear running light on after car turned off. Water entering electrical panel. New panel ordered and leak to be found at next visit.
Feb 2009 Junction box replaced, and leak on A pillar sealed with caulking sealant.

Took delivery of vehicle.
May 2006 5286 0 Fuel filler neck backs up during fueling. Design problem with filler neck. No repair solution. Fueling slower, with nozzle on the first detent, seems to solve the problem. Engine floods and runs rough when started in very cold weather (below zero). Warranty recalibrate of fuel PCM. Replaced rattly driver side mirror. Replaced radio head unit that refused to release my CD's. All warranty.
Engine still has difficulty starting when very cold.
Occasional cold-start rough idle for as long as 30 seconds. CD player has been skipping and jumping tracks more frequently. Replaced all 4 brake rotors(!) and pads.
