What is "GEM"?

[skeeter1340]

I am new to this and having problems with my rear passenger power window on a 2000 mustang. I have been reading some stuff that refers to a GEM however I do not know what that stands for. Could someone explain it to me.
Thanks.

General Electronic Module (GEM)
Like a body control module/computer.

Thanks. Would replacing the GEM be an expensive undertaking? It sounds expensive. I have one more thing to check (the wiring at the door jam) and then it may become a manual window. Remove the motor and put it up and down by hand. It is a convertible so it looks stupid with one window up when the top is down.

Used ones are fairly cheap from eBay or pull a part type yards, but usually you have to have the dealer program them
