Accessory delay relay not turning off

A little back story on the truck is that it was previously a 2wd dually. The previous owner before me added a F-450 4wd front axle and went to singles. He took it to a “professional” shop that did the swaps. I found that they wired a GEM module for the 4wd. When I bought the truck I noticed the 4x4 was working and then of course when I needed it (got stuck in a wash) it didn’t even engage the transfer case. Lo and behold the GEM module had two in-line fuses (shop had put those in there) that were blown. Put in the new ones in and BAM! The 4wd worked.

Now with the short backstory out of the way, here’s the problem. When the truck is turned off before those blown fuses were replaced the accessories delay would stay on for about 2 mins max before they would shut off. Now with the fuses replaced the accessories will stay on forever! I have been pulling the accessories delay relay for a few months cause I haven’t had time to dive in. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

Also, another thing to mention is it had LWS (Leaky Windshield Syndrome) I replaced the windshield when I bought it.
