I think it controls lights, stereo & courtesy features, like when you get out of the truck & stereo turns off & timing of lights after you leave truck. Hope Im right here. If not somebody sharper than me will help

Yeah, the trucks with a GEM have them on the backside of the fuse box under the steering wheel. IIRC, that box is called the I/P relay box and houses the 4 way flasher, turn signal flasher, trailer running lamp relay, fuel pump relay, and possibly another relay or two (I don't have my wiring diagram with me at the moment).
The chattering is likely one of the relays getting weak or getting low voltage and not staying closed.
