1997 F-150 4x4 GEM Module Removal Tips & Time Lapse

Показать описание
If you are looking for a full tutorial I recommend the video by TheSandman717. This video is just me removing the module, sped up, and a few tips as I go through it. It took me less than an hour to remove it and a lot of that time was messing with the camera. I was going to do a tutorial but I found the aforementioned tutorial to be much more thorough that what mine would have been. The symptoms I had were: No power windows, no windshield wipers (dangerous FORD), no 4x4 high or low, no interior lights or bed light, no cruise control.

This video really helped! I had purchased a refurbished gem module only to discover my fusebox was corroaded! My GeM was clean!!! Thanks for the tip...and even if it looks like only a small amount of corrosion on the fusebox ...you can bet it's inside!!! Thanks again for this video!!! And if it's 99 early 2000 navigator get your windshield replaced or resealed! My window was the culprit barely glued down!! Ford had paint peeling issues...and the windows were failing! Water gets in and if you have sunroof...clean your drain tubes out to be sure water is not backing into vehicle!

97-98 GEM Modules:
F65B-14B205-xx: Pickup 2wd or Manual 4wd
F75B-14B205-xx: Pickup Electronic 4wd
F85B-14B205-xx: Sport Utility Electronic 4wd (Expedition/Navigator)
I have to replace the GEM in my 97 Expedition due to wipers not shutting off. Gonna check the windshield for leaks per your other video too. Thanks for documenting the repair.

Thanks for this, made pulling the module out of my 2001 expedition a lot easier.

You might want to check for windshield leaks. The seals fail with age and the water drips onto the gem/fuse box. If it's leaking, it'll ruin the new fuse panel sooner or later.

I have a 2003 fx4 supercrew that has gem/fuse box issues due to rust around the sunroof that allows water to get in. On wet days my wipers won't work and while I'm driving the starter will try and turn over and when I take the keys out, you can turn the engine over by using the highbeams. I love the truck and it has shown me lots of love back, but these problems will continue until I resolve the rust issue first. If anyone is reading this, and is experiencing the same or similar problem, focus on preventing water from entering around your windshield, then your gem/fuse box. Good luck

1-Where did you buy fuse box?
2- When I'm driving down the road my truck loses power and all gauges fall as if the truck was turned off.
3-Where did you buy Gem module?

Also trying to locate the temperature guage sensor on my nephews 04 f150 5.4, 4 x 4. The temp guage doesnt work. . Had a cluster tech test the actual guage. He said it was Good. I replaced cylinder head temperature sensor under the intake, replaced the oil temperature sensor on the side of the oil pan. Still temp guage not working. Ford claims those are the only 2 temp sensors. I cant find any others to try. Got any experience with this on the 5.4? Thought id ask 😮 ?

Could this be be a possibility on a 97 standard cab 2 wheel drive V6. Its My brothers truck, the battery dies over night. Easily jumps start. Battery and alternator are new and were rechecked. After he cuts it off he hears a faint humming. Like a fan. Weve ordered a new ignigtion switch. It has been difficult to turn on sometimes and sometimes after removing key when the door opens the alarm goes off as if key is still in it. Hes not complained of any leaks . We also ordered the white ignition switch box on the left side of the steering column as well.

I have a 97 f150 with the 4.6. It’s a base model single cab extended bed. Manual windows and locks. When the truck is running it seems like everything is fine but the battery dies over night. I put a new battery and terminal in but it’s still doing it. I’m replacing the alternator but was wondering if the GEM could be the problem possibly?

There's a part around 0:40 where you hold a grey plug up to the camera... where did this plug in originally? I'm trying to put my dash together and can't find where to plug it back in. I suspect it's a wire that controls something on the transfer case and that's why my front gets no power when in 4x4 mode

I got a question for you there's this guy that has a gem module bad of a truck that has a manual shifter on the floor put it into four-wheel drive. The one that he gave me out of his truck that he is parting out . Is that the same gem module that you are replacing as the one that I am going to use with a manual shifter on the floor because hopefully it is so I didn't buy the wrong one. Mine is a 1997 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4
