GEM help?

2000 expy EB. I'm having some electrical problems I hope you guys ca help me track down. When i start the truck the windows won't work for about 5 mins then no problems, the radio is out but if i shut the truck off and put the key to accessory radio comes on. wipers shut off and on in the rain. 4x4 light blinks when running but only sometimes.
So far I have swaped out the relays in the fuse box and put in a new battery. I do have a small windshield leak. I am wondering, after reading this forum, if I have a GEM problem or a instrument panel problem.

Yep, if you have the leak then it's probably your GEM, or corroded contacts where the GEM connects to you fuse panel.

All the relays?
In which fuse box, under the dash or under the hood?
