Sir Ty so much for your video I watched about 6 videos where a person stated they where gonna show you how to do this but half butt method. No mention of the clip on the bottom to release to pop the fuse box loose or how to turn it to the side to release the model clips so much helpful info sir Ty.

This is one of the best videos I ever seen regarding Powerstroke testing and injector replacement.

Very helpful video. Thanks. My fan blower was running on its own and was told it was probably water/corrosion in the fuse box. I pulled it out following your guidance and sure enough there was a water inside. I baked it in the oven a 170 for 2 hours to dry it out. Replacing the box was a whole 'nother story. There are so many harnesses under the dash of my 2000 Expedition that I was unable to replace it as a unit. I had to install the GEM first then slide the fuse box in after. I taped up all the seams on the fuse box and sealed up the windshield where I thought the water was getting in. Now we'll wait for the rain.

Great step-by-step video - best on YouTube. Thank you. Now to see if my 65-year old back and 1/8th ton frame is up to the task. Wish me luck.

Definitely the best video on this available. The only thing missing is the size of the bolt that holds the wiring cluster to the back of the fuse panel.

great video, got an 03 lariat supercrew and this GEM module is one of many things that it needs. Front carrier getting swapped in, AC system needs attention, having mud tires didnt seem to be the best choice for highway driving but honestly its so comfortable on the highway and rides nice im just gonna stay in it and enjoy this truck. Its a good truck and im happy

This helped a ton on my 98 lincoln navigator, exact same set up around the fuze box and same exact fuze box

Only good video on this, Jeff Mount. Thanks. Here is what happened to my 2000 Ford F150 two days ago. First rain of year after long frozen winter. Started vehicle, saw 4x4 light up quickly, heard a couple of beeps. Went away. Put in drive, turned on wipers, they don't work. Parked. Wipers didn't work in any gear, only N and P. Turned off vehicle, fan still ran. Parked for day. Took drive next day, sunny, about 6 miles, heard five consecutive beeps every minute or two. Everything else ok. I've read the same symptoms elsewhere online. People said leaky windshield. My questions. Fuse box? GEM? Both bad? GEM need to be programmed or not? Getting windshield replaced Thursday and will work with windshield tech to have my grinder nearby to remove rust. Have him dump a ton of sealant.

Yes. 2001 Lincoln Navigator here with the same infamous leaky ass drivers side. Twice now it leaked into the back of the Gem Module making my brother insane. When the weather cleared up so did the problem! I had to fix it when I bought it! This vid saved my vacation. Found a new one salvaged $50!
Followed this vid and the look on my girls face when it fired up! TYTYTY!
(Btw #10 socket behind the plug! D'oh!)

thanks for the video after getting a $5000 computer i found that it says
my gem module is bad sometimes my truck will start and some times it
will just spin over. i knew it was under the light switch but not sure
where. thanks again

Great instructional video. I have to replace my GEM module tomorrow.

[ashemoski]

Great video! I'm parting out my '99, and keeping the GEM just in case my new-to-me 2003 ever needs it.

Was the windshield leaking onto the gem module? Once the module was out of the way could see where the leak was coming from?

[Jeezuzisreal]

i just found out this year 96 has no Body control module. some show a module by battery but thats for cooling fans and engine. The 96 sable used the GEM instead. its the entire fuse box and on back is a GEM mother board. Discontinued. we are calling salvage yards for exact fit numbers

[jesusa]

Thanks for this! My project for after Christmas.

I have a 97 f150 4.6 2wd. The power windows, interior dome lights, and wipers only work about 50% of the time. And if 1 doesn’t work, they all don’t work. They’ve all been working fine lately; but the last 3 days it started acting up again. Fuses look good. Could a bad GEM cause these things to happen sporadically? Or if the GEM is bad would they not work at all? The passenger window gave out completely and hasn’t worked in months

[DanielGoodness]

Good job, my friend !!!! Can I assume that this is the same procedure for my 2000 Ford Expedition ?? Other websites say this is so, but I'd like to double check....thanks for a very good video (compared to so many others)
