Okay, I finally found it. The GEM or body control module is part of the VSM. I found the part number on Alldata and it turned out to be the VSM. Go figure that one out. Thank you engineers.

Yes, exactly if that is the issue. It must also be programmed to your VIN number as well.

I was just going to a site www. Car-part. Com. Good site for used parts. Enter your information and your zip code and they will list all the yards that have one, price, phone numbers and emails.

Hey guys. I was reading back through this and wondered if you could check something simple for me. Under the left hand side of the dash is the central junction box (CJB). When you mentioned GEM, it brought back a memory. Check to see if there is any evidence of water leaking in on the CJB. It can cause all kinds of issues.

Joe is right about the fuse block.

You may not be able to see any damage as it may be internal.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it but wiggling wires in the fuse block seems to kill the truck. At least while it’s unbolted. Then have to re position to start it. Fairly confident it’s wires right in the middle and not sure if that has anything to do with the power train EEC relay clicking constantly. The click stops when the brake is pressed.

While what is unbolted? The fuse block?

What about when it is running and connected? Did you wiggle the wires and see if it dies?

Okay, I couldn’t seem to get it to die while bolted up. Definitely dies when hanging while moving wires. It seemed like I couldn’t get it to die with that harness unplugged but again, rain stopped me short. It just started raining and it’s not in my garage so I came in. But, I’ve found the culprit harness of the buzzing. The red circled one. The taillights turn off when unplugged and the buzzing relay stops. When plugged in, it starts right away. There’s also a quick beep somewhere behind my dash every time it’s plugged in? I hear the same beep sometimes when starting the truck.

No, we do not have a routing diagram for the harness. You will have to follow that one.
