Edit: The following applies if you feel moisture in the gem was a possible source for your issues.
I would highly recommend if you replace the gem module you remove and make sure the fuse block in which it piggybacks is completely dry inside.
I say this because when I had issues I really did not notice much if any water in the gem module itself but a fair amount did pour out of the fuse block when removed.
I believe this is due to the design and angle. The gem will tend to drain better. The fuse block is located below and it appears to hold water well. Once you find the assembly you will understand how all the water goes right there. Its because the wiring harness is going down hill right to it. Any water behind the dash follows the wires right to it.
I assume that since the gem controls and monitors various circuits through the fuse block it could have adverse effects on it?!
So again I would recommend pulling the fuse block while your there and drying it out near a source of heat. I set mine near a pellet stove overnight as well as my gem module.
