Wipers, windows, Dome light, don't work

Hopefully someone can help, I have a 97 f-150 and suddenly my power windows, wipers and dome light won't work. I checked all of the fuses and relays under the dash and under the hood and I can't find anything wrong. My window was open and it started snowing so I took the door panel off and hotwired the window to close it and the window works fine, so its not getting power and I can't figure out why. I tryed to search this forum, but it too busy and I couldn't. Any answers would be appreciated.

If your year uses the GEM module, I would suspect there is something wrong with it. It's an electronic module mounted under the dash that controls the timing function so when you turn the key off, you can still work all those components for a certain amount of time. It controls a battery saver relay and a accessory delay relay.

Sometimes these trucks had windshield leaks that would run down on the GEM module and make it malfunction
