That is the usual place but if not you still gotta stop the leak.

Well there are other ones on there, that was just the cheapest... I'm sure he can use his own discretion and purchase one from a trust worthy seller even if he's gotta shell out a few extra bucks...

I tend to stay away from Ebay for electrical stuff. I have been burned to many times and the sellers seem to just disappear. If anyone else has any ideas please let me know. Thanks for all the info guys.

I had my windshield replaced with a new one (old one had been hit & cracked, plus leaking). Water is still getting in. When I finally got the GEM module out a couple days ago (crow bar & ball pein hammer) j/k, I noticed the brake pedal assembly attached to the firewall is rusty. Thinking maybe water is coming in from some point of entry there. Going to check further.

The stealership price for the GEM module is $240.04. Thinking of getting it from them to avoid any other potential problems of getting one from a junkyard with possible same issues.

What do y'all think?

Having the same issue with the GEM... did you find a replacement? Been searching for one for a 2000 F150.
Thanks!

I had to have my windshield replaced to finally fix the same problem. The glass was delaminating around the edges. I never had to replace the GEM. It would dry out and be fine.

That seems to be the same with my GEM, once it dries out, everything is fine! Afraid to run it through a car wash! Electrical gremlins will resurface then!
