Hi there...having a slight issue. Not sure as to what happened, as i was driving today, slamming the subs pretty hard my interior lights stopped working. So i figured it popped a fuse, or lights came loose. Well it did blow a fuse, so i replaced that, and checked the continuity of the rest of the fuses. All good, so i continue on to check the relays, those are all good. But the power windows do not work, nor does the interior lights. But everything else works. I ran out of daylight in my search for broken grounds. So ill hit that tomorrow. Ive searched but haven't stumbled across a situation like mine. Everyone else has had several things fail pointing the GEM. I have an isolated incident. I'm not positive that it cant be the GEM. Is there a way to test one of those? Also if i find no broken wires, or bad grounds where else do i look? I would like to have my windows back, and i would like to have my dome lights back. Any suggestions?
 






Well I finally figured it out. It was an array of things...it was the accessory relay, 3 broken/burnt wires in the drum and a short in the info panel up top causing fuses to blow. So a few hours and a few busted knuckles its all fixed.
