SOURCE: mechanic is telling me that the smart junction box
The Smart Junction Box is an additional item in the circuitry that controls power distribution to all of the lighting and a bunch of other ancillary systems on your Freestar. The "Smart" in the name is an oxymoron, it isn't smart at all. It takes input from a switch and then decides what needs to get power, like headlights, with tail, turn and parking lights. This used to be done in the switch assembly, and I guess that Ford decided that was too simple. Find out what is wrong with the SJB, and think about having it replaced, or, do what I am, splicing into a circuit that mimics the behavior of the tag lights. My license lamps are out, even after replacing the harness and bulbs, on a 2004 Freestar, and I feel your pain.
SOURCE: Where is the smart junction box located
Hi there:
According with the manual, the Power Distribution Box is located in the engine compartment. The power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your vehicle's main electrical systems from overloads.
Also, the Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel, that is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
