I am having electrical issues with my 1997 F-150. First the Power ports quit working, I have checked the Fuze #3 under the Dash and it is good SMH? Don't know what to do next, it was working a few days ago. Second, when it rains the Driver side window will roll it's self down (power Windows), I roll it up and a few seconds to 2 minutes later it will do it again, and the Passenger side will not do anything. I got a new switch and put on the Drivers side door panel and still have the same issues. Trying to limp this truck around for at least 2 more years. Its getting about 12 MPG :o( as soon as the wife's car is paid for I am getting a new Truck!! What do you all think is some of my problems, I can live with the window thing, but would like to be able to Charge my phone in the power port.

 

It maybe that your front windshield is leaking...and thereby causing the GEM module to be wet and causing electrical issues .

 

I just had a new Heater Core put in 2 weeks ago, I do know the Back glass is leaking on the passenger side. Where is the GEM module located, you think I could spray some silicone on it?

 

sorry double post

 

GEM is under the dash....doubt the back glass is the issue.
if the heater was leaking or it spilled/dribbled on the exchange....maybe that caused it? Usually Its from the front glass leaking.

have you had the battery tested??? or the alternator? check for bad grounds?

 

Well, I unplug my spot light this morning and the shaking cause the cell phone charger to flicker. So I stuck my hand under the dash and moved the wires around, and I now have power restored to the charger and spot light.
I take it for however long it last. Thanks for your help.
