Raido won't turn off

[Smitherz]

Ok I have had the issue where the raido and dome light will not turn off. I used WD40 on all the door latches and it fixed the problem. NOW the raido will not turn off when the key is out but will shut off about 5-10 minuts later and the following do not work.......The automatic door locks don't work, memory seat, curtesy lights on the side view mirrors, dome light will not come on when opening the door (manual operation works), back up sensor, chime for the headlights being on. I get "data error" when scrolling the message center for most of the items listed. Maybe the GEM module is bad?? Has anyone had this issue happen to them?

Sounds like the GEM module to me. What year truck? Do you get puddles in the driver side wheel well after heavy rains or anything?

2003. Yes I was getting water from the sunroof. The drain holes were clogged.

Ok well the 1st gens are notorious for having bad windshield seals and leaking water down onto the GEM. I have not heard much on that topic with 2nd gens, but one thing you can try is taking a hose and running water over the windshield and sunroof for 10 mins or so. If you can feel water up underneath the dash near the fuse box, then you have a leak somewhere.

Hopefully others will chime in with ideas.
