I'm pretty sure that my GEM module is done for. I'm trying to at least get my windows down. Tried the bypass trick with the tan/blue wire. No help. Was finally able to get the dr. side down, honestly I'm not even sure how that happened. Now I can't get the window up. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Pull the GEM and submerge it in a bucket of rice for 48 hours. The rice will draw out the moisture, and return your GEM to dry. This works well for wet electronics. I've done it to a few phones, and my GEM from my Expy. So far, it has worked 100% of the time.
Do what White says but use Dielectric on all the terminals to keep it drier in case of moisture. The GEM outside is sealed, it''s just the seal between the GEM and the fuse box that really is the big problem. The last GEM I put in my own rig, I ran a light bead of silicone and it's never had a problem again.
The water is getting in from the rear window. I thought it was getting in through the 3rd brake light. I used weather stripping to seal it and used silicone caulk on the top of the rear window. Didn't see any water so I thought I fixed it. Harvey proved me wrong. But yeah, I'm going to pull it and the fuel block today. Thank Y'all So Much!
