Car listed above is an SE FFV. All windows, interior lights, power mirrors, and trunk light, not working at all. Replaced driver side door after hit and run Hyperextended it. Window motors work when I connected drill battery. Tested both new and old door wiring harness door locks work but no power mirrors or any of the door windows even with the door switches. Interior dome light doesn't turn on even from the switches or the driver control. And trunk interior light is out too. Dash lights work fine radio and climate control lights work fine. Also I was pushing buttons in the radio/climate area and I pressed the Rear Defogger button and the driver window went down. Weird. I suspect some sort of short. Or Gem problem. I live in Arizona and it's crazy hot the only way to roll my window down or up is with a drill battery. It's ridiculous. And sometimes embarrassing. Especially at the drive thu. Or if I have someone with me. It's funny when I have to get out the drill battery and pop out the wires from under the door panel. Luckily my air conditioner still works great putting out super cold air. Otherwise I would even get into my car.

Yep, the gem module sounds like it is out. Here is the location so you can swap it out. It is located under the dash on the drivers side. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
