The module on its own can take a good 2-weeks to dry out unless you remove it and force dry it.

Why are you asking me? You're the one that said a module might've gotten wet. Which one are you talking about?

The GEM module (if equipped) is attached to the fuse box under the dash by the driver's left leg. They were notorious for getting wet and causing all sorts of electrical issues. I don't remember offhand if the 03 still used a GEM or if 02 was the last year.

On my 03, same thing sunroof leaked. I had plugged drain holes on sunroof and when it overflowed it ran down passenger side and would drench the fuse box. A lot of weird things happened. I'm still fighting the "open liftgate problem".
I took out my fuse box and tore it completely apart and dried and cleaned all the contacts. It fixed everything but the liftgate ajar problem. You may have to do the same.
To clean the sunroof drains I ran a thin wire down the holes, then blew them out with my air compressor. The drains now work like they should.
Check the passenger side of your navy, if the floor is wet or there is any moisture on the fusebox wires, you need to do as i did, dry it all out and it may fix your problems. Hope this helps.
