THINK IT OUT AND BE VERY CARE CAUSE THIS SIMPLE THING CAN AND MIGHT TURN INTO HELL FOR YOU. have fun andrew but why do you need to replace it????????

Okay Andrew I'll admit you've got me...are you trying to be funny or are you really looking for a GEM.
IT'S CALLED V-TEC BABY!! :redspotdance:

 

[Cat_Rebel]

Or did you mean these GEMs? Sure got enough on your Myspace page.

It's a "Generic Electronic Module". It controls a number of things, including: 4-wheel drive functions, wiper/washer function, warning chimes, keyless entry, power window functions, interior and exterior lighting functions...and more!

As soon as you buy that new Ford manual, you'll be able to identify it, test it, remove it and replace it. It's in Volume 1, section 419-10-14, "Removal and Installation, GEM (Generic Electronic Module)"

I thought it was more like muffler bearings & where to fill the blinker fluid.

The question is it really the GEM or the clockspring? How would I know for sure which one is bad?

Cruise control no worky, no horn and the Air Bag light is on showing a little guy being hit by the bag

thanks,
Andrew

I think that is your clock spring do your door locks still work that is if you have power locks

 

[00PSD1]

Yes my doors work. I have the lariat package

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

well then it shoud be your clock spring.

 

[Stroked95]

O.K. I don't know if you guys are talking straight or if your full of chit, is there really a 'clock spring'?

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

Yes and isn't even in the clock.

 

[Stroked95]

The one behind the wheel, is there one on an OBS as well or not?

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

I have no idea about the OBS but I would guess yes and yes it is behind the wheel.

 

[Arisley]

If you have anything on your steering wheel except a horn there is a clockspring in there.

 

[Tedzz]

Do beer stains count??

 

[genuineford]

Yes I had to change my clockspring when I got my truck. I had a picture of the bad one but I cant find it i must have deleted it. Sorry

Yes that is how the signal is transfered when you turn your wheel.

 

[Arisley]

Sure do, when you get a beer stain on the steering wheel, that night the clockspring gremlins come out and install one, they enter your truck though a hole in the firewall.
