Where is the GEM?

Under the dash, up ABOVE the parking brake/ kick panel area. You gotta be a contortionist to see it or get to it. It should have the 5-digit keyless entry code on it.

The GEM is actually attached to the back of the fuse box. Water usually drips down from the dash brace/beam that goes from one side of the truck to the other. Usually if the GEM has water in it so does the fuse box and that causes problems like the heater wont shut off etc.
