Hey everyone,

Chuckieboi here. New to the site, and I dare say not unlike everyone else, I looked for assistance regarding Explorer related problems. I love my 2000 Explorer XLT, which was once a Wayne County Sheriff vehicle. At present, I have an issue with my power windows and dome lights not working. I stupidly was sitting in my vehicle waiting for a tow truck through AAA for my daughters van when i decided to show her and my son how I was having an issue with my dome light. i began to twist the light overhead when all of the sudden there was a spark and the interior lights stopped working. When i went to close the driver window, which was 1/3 of the way down, i found that it nor any other window will go up. Hoping someone may have some insite as to what is the cause.

1. fuses are all fine
2. relays and fuses in the box under hood are working, as i have replaced them with known good one at a time.

ive read different things regarding possible relays in the door..(went to junk yard and found no relays in the door), etc.

Ive heard some talk about GEM module, but i dont know where it is located.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards!

 

Welcome!

I would post your question here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum32/ Bet the folks there can help you out. Sounds like you gave a very effective demonstration of the issues you were having. BTW, that's how it usually goes for me!

 

Thank you to everyone who responded to my posting. As an update, I replaced the GEM and nothing has changed. In response to one of the posts, I had already checked all of the fuses inside the car as well. I have read some information regarding the possibility of a battery saver relay or accessory delay relay causing the issues, since both the windows and interior lights and vanity mirror lights do not come on, but not sure where these are located. If these are the relays located directly to the right of the steering column under the dash, then I had already checked each of these. Any further help is greatly appreciated.
