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.
