Electrical Problems HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a slight dilemma with my truck. Last night I was laying in bed and all of the sudden my horn started going off. I ran outside to find my horn stuck on. It smelled like something was burning inside the truck. So i disconnected the batteries as quick as i could and went back inside. This morning i hooked the batteries back up and the horn did the same thing. I then took out the fuse and relay under the hood for the horn. Now I dont have windshield wipers, 4wd, windows, and my key fob doesn't work. I checked the relay and it seems to be good. ANY IDEAS!!!!!

havent found anything yet. I have the lower dash removed and will check again in the morning. I am thinking that I have had a wiring harness behind the cluster that got hot and melted some wires together and that is where i am getting the constant hot for the horn. I will update if I find anything.

ok i have an update!! I have not found any burned wiring under the dash. It seems that the GEM module has gotten wet and has shorted out. But i am also thinking that it could be in the fuse block as well. ISince it is a dealer part only i checked at the local dealer and found out that the GEM module is 490.00 which is crazy!!! I think I am going to try to order it from Ed on here to save me some money. Does it sound like I am on the right track.

I also was wondering since the GEM has to be programmed to my truck, can this be done with the AE?

I got to thinking and i think I am going to try to replace the fuse block first since there seems to be some corrosion. If that doesnt fix it than I will have to replace the GEM module. But i am going out of town on my college graduation trip to yellowstone so my truck will be sitting until the 1st of june.
