Electrical issues

I’m new to posting here, but have used the site many times for fixes. I’ve got a 2000 f250 7.3l that I just changed injector o rings, glow plugs, and neutral safety switch. Now the power windows, 4wd switch, dome light, and the wipers won’t work, no blown fuses, burnt wires, and I changed the relays. Does anybody have any idea what could cause all this unrelated issues.

All of those features have the GEM module in common.

Verify that the GEM module has it's proper ground and that it's power supply circuits are correct.

I found the GEM and jumped the relay pin 87 and 30 to get the windows to work. I have a spare fuse panel with GEM attached so I’m gonna try it before I buy a new one.

No one told you to buy or replace anything so you're on your own if you decide to blindly go down that path.

Good luck.

No I know that, that’s why I wanted to try the one I had on hand from a scrap truck I had. If it works then I’ll replace it. I did some research on how to test it and so far all the test are pointing to that. I did check the ground and power supply first they both were correct. I’ll let ya know how it goes. Thank you for the guidance.

Make sure you don't have a water leak in your windshield or cab clearance lights. Water will run down the pillar and get into the module and fuse box. If you have a water leak, you will need to fix that first. If you have another module, make sure it has the same part number, because there are several different modules for the same year. You probably won't be able to find a new one. Good luck

I don’t have any leaks. The mod I have was the wrong one. So I went circuit by circuit and bypassed each one passed the mod and got each circuit to work. So I ordered reman off eBay. Your right, you can’t find a new one anywhere.
