I cannot find this default code anywhere. I have looked under the dash,
looked in the driver side rear jack storage compartment and under the hood.
I checked all over the internet and everyone says it is in the jack
compartment on a silver or black computer box. Not in my jack
compartment!!!

Only things in there are the jack and the fuel filler hump for the fuel tank
neck.

Can anybody tell me where this 5 digit code is at? I bought the vehicle
used and it didn't come with an owners manual ( I found that on-line) or the
default code. Dealers want $30 - $75 here to tell you what it is.

Let me know

Thanks

Russ

The owners manual for the 99 showed me where to find it, likewise I assume
it is in the 2001 owners manual. (I have both the PDF online version and the
paper version). It will take a mirror to read it but in the 99 you open the
rear door and it is in the left side of the vehicle inside the panel. In my
case I can see the control module but the code is on the side of the module.
As I said it took a mirror to read it and a few guesses until I figured out
the code.

Art,

I did all that - I have the 2001 manual that I downloaded on line and I went
thru the entire thing - I couldn't locate any info on where it is at in the
vehicle. I opened the driver rear panel where the jack and tools kept since
it is a 2 - door and looked all over this area and couldn't see anything but
the seat belt assembly and the speaker assembly - no box.

I looked under the dash on both sides and see nothing with a code written on
it. Now I am reading I need to remove the defroster plate cover on the
dash and look down from outside the passenger side windshield and I may see
tucked in way behind the glove box. May try it has have nothing to loose.

Thanks

Russ
