The OEM IPM box has a open bottom and can get water and mud if heavy off roading (mudding) is done. I understand the replacements have a covered bottom to prevent this. But cannot confirm this. Sometimes a corrode IPM can have jumpers installed to keep them working.

You will have to open the fuse box and go through it to determine if it's bad.
Clean up what you can. Maybe sand/scrap the terminals off for better connections. Tighten any fuse holders or relay contacts.

If that doesn't work you may have to replace it. Good luck.
