Hi all, brand new here!
I have a 1998 Mazda B3000 that I think the GEM is going bad on from reading the different forum posts from here and elsewhere. The truck's speedometer and the windshield wipers don't work. This has been occurring intermittently pretty much since I got the truck a couple months ago and got worse/ doesn't work since my battery died on me a couple weeks ago. I pulled the GEM and reset it and it worked for one drive and then stopped again. My GEM # is F87B-14B205-EE and the truck is a 4x4, manual transmission, with manual windows and I saw on eBay that the EE is for an auto with power windows. I just pulled all of the fuses associated with the wipers and the GEM and got:
Wipers:
16: 0.75V
GEM:
10: 12.08V
20: 11.91V
25: 11.70V
26: 0.04V
28: 0.01V
Note: All of the fuses were checked with the key turned to accessories after I started the truck to verify the wipers weren't working and the wipers turned on for 16
I'm hoping that someone on this forum can confirm what I'm thinking about it being the GEM and possibly the right parts number for the GEM before I drop the money to get a GEM module
