What is a Generic Electronic Module? The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) is found on Ford vehicles and is basically a Body Control Computer. It controls many of the following functions on most Ford vehicles: * Warning chimes and warning lamps * One-touch down driver's side window * Daytime Running Lamps * Heated rear window * Windshield washers and wipers * Battery saver * Remote keyless entry * Illuminated entry with remote keyless entry * Interior lighting * Perimeter anti-theft * Four-wheel drive The GEM is bolted to the back of the fuse box.
Sometimes though the fuse box gets water in it and causes the same problems too.
The GEM is $1200.00 plus labor. Better ideas by Ford
