Hi,
I searched the site and this points to a damp "GEM: module but I noticed one post said there is no GEM on a 2003. I am dealing with this now and I plan to look at the fuse panel now. Can someone educate me as to if there is or is not a GEM on a 2003?
Help will be much appreciated.

Sounds more like you lost an engine to body ground to corrosion or breakage.

 

Thx, I'll go check that!

Figured it out! It looks like the battery is bad . I put the charger on for 30 min. and it started right up. The battery is original so it is now 5 years old although I usually get more than that out of a battery. I checked that alternator and it looks good at 14.3 volts but I guess it could still be a leaky diode in the alternator that is discharging the battery. I am going to get it checked out today now that I can drive it.
Thanks,
Gary

 

when my Expy battery was close to dead the all guages went from min to max when cranking.

 

5 years is about the maximum life for a battery if you're lucky.

 

Hi All,
It was just the battery. The alternator, starter, etc all checked out OK. I am still surprised at the operation when the battery is low. Basically all the gauges, wipers, etc. all went to max on position. What a strange result from a low battery.
