I got into my truck this morning to find that my windows won't roll down, my radio won't go on and my wipers (front/rear) won't work. They all worked yesterday. All other electrical components I checked today work. I checked all the fuses in the dash near the front driver door and all seemed to be functioning. What could cause all these systems to fail and not other ones? Please help!!!!

The same thing happened to me. It happened when I put my remote wire to my accessory wire by accident... I found a few other threads on a Google search saying that it is may be a GEM issue and another thread where it was said that the solution for the problem was by replacing some sort of control relay behind the dash above where the driver's knees are, and could be easily done in 10 minutes.

I guess we will find out.

Oh yeah, if that doesn't work, it might just be a fuse or relay because it seems like the windows, wipers, and radio are somehow on the same circuit.
 






I would double-check all fuses and relays under the hood. Remember that there is an auxiliary relay box in the front of the engine compartment near the airbox as well. Let us know how you make out!
 






Got the wipers and windows to work. It turned out to be a couple of fuses. I didn't get the radio to work. I'm thinking the radio might be fried lol :( I will be getting out my DMM and checking the accessory wire voltage and the fuse for the radio.
