99 xlt 5.4 2wd auto.
Starter was blowing the 15amp fuse, after the whole electronics circus after some steady rain.
New Starter installed, now no action from the fuel system. Cranks but no spark.
At this point I am almost positive the issue is the fuse box/gem. Going to remove these and inspect them, as well as follow that line of wires up to the firewall and see what it looks like.
Also on tap is a new windshield that will have to be installed onsite at the mechanic it now sits at. (All okay I'm patient and wanting to fix this)
My questions are,
How reliable are these pre programmed gem I see for sale online, and if ordered with vin any recommendations? And are they really plug and go?
Anyone have specific experience with doing a new gem on this very odd early model year 99 with 2wd.
Also hoping that the GEM is the fix to get It to spark.
On another note when starter died I rad the OBD scan tool got the codes. Since new starter is installed it won't recognize a hand held or the shop rig they plugged in.
