what is a Generic Electronic Module

[Matt]

googled ‘f 150 generic electronic module’ and the first couple results say it’s the BCM or body control module. It controls power windows and locks. If the fuse is blowing, inspect the wiring to the module, mostly the power wire since you are popping fuses. Here is a link for free wiring diagrams:

Good luck.

all my fuses are fine its just that the battery saver relay overheats and blows.. could i have a short on a wire?

Yes….or a shorted load device…you need to look at the wiring diagram

update.. i did a volt test on the system and when the truck is at idle i at bettery its 14.3v. inside the truck is 14.5v.. when i push the gas padel to 1500 rpms at the bettery its at 14.4v. inside the truck its 14.7v.. i think its supported to have the same votes inside as the engine.

Perhaps but you normally check system voltage at the battery, here’s a video on checking the charging system.

That said it sounds like you might have a short somewhere, before you condemn the BCM perhaps get the wiring diagram as suggested and see if it’s getting the proper voltage, if not then it’s likely there is a problem somewhere else in the system.
