Where is it and what does it control? Tach gauge, oil and battery gauge quit working along with the radio, cruise control. New battery and alternator and battery will not stay charged. Any suggestions?
The gem is behind the dash in the center, behind the radio. It controls whipers, anti theft, 4x4, cargo lamp, insterment cluster, plus a few other things. Hope this helps.
The guages do not go through the GEM, neither does the radio or the cruise.
Go to this link for a complete description of the GEM functions.

Several options exsist.
1. What was happening when these all quite working? All at once, over a period of time, alternator went and then everything else.
2. alternator charges battery-if that's new and battery goes dead then look for improper hook-up or possible short circuit on/with alternator.
3. check your voltage regulator for defect.
