Hi, I have a 1999 Expedition, I’ve been having issues I believed to be related to the GEM and water leaking in. Dashboard warning lights flashing, cabin lights coming on and the car starting by itself, even when already running, and most recently the stereo and 4wd not coming on.
I just replaced the GEM today, and haven’t driven it long enough to confirm what it if anything it did fix but immediately I noticed that the stereo and 4wd aren’t working.
They come on for a minute and then go out. Was hoping the 4wd was just a light not coming on but the 4wd itself doesn’t seem to be working.
My next thought was to replace the fuse box itself? I tend to think there could be water in it causing shorts or corrosion..
Any thoughts before I head that route? It was a giant headache getting it out and back in, can’t say I’m looking forward to doing it again…
Thanks for any input
