I am experiencing the same problem with my 2000 XLT. No cargo lights, no power windows, . Am searching for a solution today. Will let you know if/when I find my fix.

Update: (shamefaced) Did a battery disconnect,(10 + minutes), it appears I am back to normal.
 






update ok i have been looking thur all the wires and have found that they all go to the same plug on the GEM module every thing leds back to this all the relays are good and so are the fuses so i orderd a used one off ebay and will update this when i get it and find out if this fixes it i sure hope so
 






My problems popped up again next day, (I shoulda known!), I too, ordered a used GEM from e-bay. Just make sure you get one with the SAME #'s as the one in there. Mine was also a 1999 module, I have a 2000 XLT.
As long as I'm posting, I'd like to thank all the regulars who post. I've been a member a couple of years, don't post much. Don't have to, search has answered all my questions. Thanks again guys, and thanks to Rick and the Mods for the site, and all the work you do!!

:thumbsup:

Here is a link, says it will work with your model, just make sure it's same #. This is same as mine, says made in Canada.... $34.95, including priority shipping. Mine shipped today, will have it Monday latest. Good luck, happy payday. ;)
