What does the GEM module control on a 1995 Ford Explorer?

== == The GEM is located behind the radio. You can take out the radio with a pair of special tools that fit into the four small holes you will find on the face of the radio unit. Or, if you take out the two screws at the bottom of the whole dash facia (the black framing around the radio, A/C controls and two top A/C vents, you can carefully remove the entire unit. Behind this facia are the connections to various electronic controls (depending on the options your Explorer has). Behind this radio and facia, look behind and to the left (driver's side) and you will see a small black box (cigarette size) with wires connecting to it. It can be removed by simply sliding the unit up and off its bracket. No screws are holding the GEM to the inside dash. Be sure you have disconnected the battery before attempting any repair or removal for your safety. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Demand lists the location as center of the dash, against the firewall. What is needed to access the GEM, I am still working on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ANSWER The Generic Electronic Module can be accessed by removing the radio (Helpfull)

A blown fuse would cause the hazard lights not to work on the 1994 Ford F150. It could also be blown bulbs causing the lights not to work.

Step on the brakes and blows tail light fuse?

More than likely the tail light socket is to blame. Over time moisture causes corrosion to build up at the socket-bulb connection. Try carefully cleaning the socket, and inspect it for a short circuit.

Don't forget to check the license plate light or wiring for shorts. Also you can purchase a "short checker" device. This device has a heavy duty circuit breaker to install in place of the fuse. It repeatedly sets and resets 1-5 times a second, allowing current to flow. You then use the hand held amperage meter (included in the kit), to follow the wiring harness. As the circuit draws amperage because of the short, the meter needle moves wildly. When you pass the point of the short, the meter stops moving since there is no current flow after the short. Very effective at tracing a harness. If for instance the wiring harness goes to the left tail light first and then to the right tail light, if the left tail light is shorted, the meter will not move or read for the right tail light as you have passed the "SHORT" point.

What is the difference between kilo volt and kilo watt?

A "kilo" means 1000. So a kilowatt is a thousand watts. The same applies to voltage. A kilovolt is 1000 volts. Wattage is the measurement of "electrical power". Voltage is the measurement of "electrical potential" See "Ohms Laws" for more explanation of electrical terms.'

How do you take the speed governor off a 2001 s10 with a 4.3 vortec?

It's most likely programmed within one of the vehicles computers and not something physical that can be removed. Re-programming the computer may be the only method of defeating this safety device.

How do you find a fault causing your tail lights and dashboard light fuse to blow?

Wire a 12 volt bulb across the blown fuse. This can be done with a bulb and holder wired with two wires and two alligator clips in place of the fuse. The bulb should light showing the fault is present. Go round the car removing bulbs one at a time until the lamp goes out. That is your faulty bulb.If this does not find it you need to check for wire insulation touching the chassis through rubbing or melting.

What is better 2ohm or 4ohm?

The difference is 2 ohms.

Another difference is that the 2 ohm speaker will draw more power from a given amplifier than a 4 ohm speaker will draw. If the amplifier is not rated for two ohms, then the two ohm speaker may draw more than the amplifier's rated power, and the amplifier may be damaged as a result.

How do I change 2001 Odyssey brake light?

Can you use a 500 watt rms amp with a 300 watt rms sub?

You can. Just don't have the gain turned up all the way and listen for distortion from the subwoofer. After you hook the amp up, turn the gain all the way down, turn the stereo up as loud as you can. At the point where the regular speakers start to distort, turn the volume down just to the point that the music is clear then slowly turn the gain up on the amp just to the point that the sub starts to distort then turn it down to the point it sounds clear with no distortion and you just balanced your system. You should never have a problem or hurt your sub.

Why is your car beeping as though the door is open while you are driving even though all doors are shut?

Usually it is a warning that either you have left your keys in the ignition, or you have left your headlights, interior, or parking lights on.

Sometimes, though, the little switch in the ignition that senses the presence of the key, will stick. Reinserting the key and jiggling it around a bit while removing it will often fix it.

What does an electric motor do?

An electric car has an electric motor. The energy stored in the car's batteries is converted into the rotation of the wheels.

A food processor works on exactly the same principle. Electrical energy from the outlet is turned into rotation in the food processor, and if you attach blades to the part that turns, it can cut up your food.

Even an elevator works on the same principles. In the case of an elevator, the final motion isn't rotation, but it's still based on electrical wires feeling forces inside magnetic fields.

Right turn signal not working for 92 Chevy lumina?

How do you install a capacitor?

It gets hooked up like a switch would be. The main power wire goes to the positive side on the cap and a short power wire comes off of the positive side of the cap to go to the amp. Ground comes from car metal to the negative side of the cap and a short ground comes off of that negative to go to the negative on the amp.

Where is the turn signal fuse located for 1997 ford explorer?

The turn signal flasher on a 2004 Ford Expedition is located on the driver's side just above and to the left of where the brake pedal is. Look for a small square box that has a three prong plug-in.

Where is the fuse box for the dash light and tail light of a 1991 Toyota Celica?

i an not 100% sure on this one, but i am pretty sure that under the bonette there is a black fuse box as is under my wife's corolla. there are fuses for interior lights and a few others. there is a diagramme showing which one does what, otherwise, near your feet kick panel just inside the front doors. . Carl.

It's the "dome" fuse in the fuse box located under the hood. I had an electrical short in that harness and it caused the radio, clock, dome light, and the REAR RUNNING LIGHTS (?!?) to stop working. After replacing the fuse several times i fixed the problem by replacing the fuse with a self-resetting circuit breaker for less than $10. The only additional mod i needed was to allow for the addition necessary headroom required by the larger component.
