Default Generic electronic module function and location

I own a 200l Mustang 3.8 convertible and have what may be an excess parasitic battery drain attributable to the circuit served by the 5 amp fuse located in fuse slot 39 of the under-dash fuse box. In the Owner’s Manual this fuse is listed as servicing a “GEM”, which I understand is Ford’s acronym for “generic electronic module”. Does anyone know what device or process is controlled by this particular “generic electronic module” , where this module is physically located within the car, and whether a parasitic battery drain of 80 milliamps would be excessive or within limits for this module?

Sorry I am a little too buzzed to answer this but try posting it in the general tech forum too. That way you should have an answer.

For that data, you're going to have to get the Ford Service manual. MAYBE AllData MIGHT have the info, but I doubt it.
