GEM Module

Can someone please tell me where the GEM module is on my 2003 Ford Ranger Pickup 2.3L?

2003 should be behind the Radio, same as earlier models, they are also called BCM(body control module) and later they were moved to passenger kick panel and called(became part of) Smart Junction Box(SJB), but in 2003 it should still be behind the radio

What, if anything, should I do as far as programming one that came from another Ranger?
Thanks for your response

You can't do much without the Ford software.

But in 2003 the GEM doesn't do anything that needs to be programmed, it just does power windows, wipers, interior lights, and door "ajar" warnings

By 2005 is was gone, replaced by SJB(smart junction box)

2001 to 2003 should be the same, but in 2003 the wiring does show 2 connections to "Central Security Module", and in 2001 it just shows anti-theft connection on those 2 wires, so I think the same thing
