Or can you give me a website that might show a diagram of it. I heard you can take it off and possible dry it out and it might help. But I have no idea what it looks like on the back of the fuse box is all I know.

It is simply a rectangular black box, held on to the fuse box with three torx type screws. Get the windshield leak at the drivers side top left repaired. But it will be a waste of time to try to dry the module out. The circuit board inside has corroded, as have the connector pins. This applies to the fuse box as well. Replace them both, AFTER the windshield leak is fixed, and be done with it. If you don't, you'll be forever having electrical issues. From first hand experience.

The gem on that year is not a programmable module. Remove the cover over the fuse box. There are 2 10mm nuts and 2 10mm bolts. Remove them. Behind the fuse box are 2 large square wiring connectors that go to the fuse box. Unscrew the 10 mm nut for each. The connector will back out as they unscrew. Push the fuse box assy back towards the engine, and as it clears the dash panel, remove the three connectors that go to the gem module on the back of the fuse box. Then remove the fuse box assy by moving it to the right, and out from under the dash. It's a snug fit, but it Will come out. Then swap the gem module and re-install in reverse order. Most of the failures on gem modules of that year are due to water leaks at the left side of the windshield from sealer failure. If this module is being replaced for odd electrical happenings, replace the fuse box as well and fix the windshield leak, or the new gem will not live long. Hope this helps, and good luck!

I agree with bartzan.. if the module got moisture it's toast.. you are trying to save $100 on something that is a bear to change for most techs... I don't even try and save something like this..too much stuff in the module that can fail that isn't worth fixing...
Usually however the ones i hit don't have moisture in them, they just fail with age
