Default No Dome lights or wipers???

I have a 95 ranger with no power options. I noticed the other day that the wipers no longer worked. At the same time the dome lights stopped working. I did however figure out that when the parking light switch is on, the dome lights will work. What could be wrong?

try your GEM module. I had the same thing and have posted on the solution and a place that beats the dealers price

have you tried replacing your multi function switch ? I've seen those cause some funky problems, with back feed through the lighting system..

Yes... it is the GEM module... It is located behind the dash and if you can tap it with a mallet or something you may get it jolted to working temporarily but that is a BIG maybe... I just had to have mine replaced. It controls many of the power options on the vehicle, such as wipers, washer, windows, dome light, battery saver, 4x4, speedometer etc... When you get the new one make sure that it is compatible with YOUR particular vehicle. They need to match with your equipment or some things will no longer function. Mine had to be programed by the dealer. I had to pay full price due to needing the vehicle the next day. Beware of used equipment as there is no warranty on most of them other than what the seller will offer.

Thanks for the info guys. We disconnected the battery and everything started working again. Not sure how long I'll have the truck, so I'm gonna wait on the GEM module.
