You can find tissue boxes that are 5 3/4 x 4 3/4 at many grocery stores (but
not all). They will fit the opening in the '99 Explorer.

"> 2.  Is it possible to change the factory set entrance code

This has got to be in the owners manual. At least it was in my owners manual
for the 4 Explorers I have owned with the Key Entry.

I suspect there are places in the rear console to plug earphones in. The
buttons control the volume, etc.

Answer to question #6

This is where to store a Glock 17 magazine.  It is instantly
accessable and has never fallen out.  Store with rounds down.

I found the Kleenex boxes the other day at Target-97 cents.  As I recall,
Walgreens was pretty high for the boxes.

I just purchased a '99 Explorer from a good friend.  He gave
me all the documents that came with it, including the
various manuals.  He had purchased this car new with all the
bells, whistles, and extra chrome available that year.
Unfortunately, some of the options are not explained in the
owner's manual - so I have some questions.  I have asked
him, but the first 5 questions were never important enough
to him to seek answers, and he said he gave up finding an
answer to number 6.  Here are the 6 questions:

1.  How does one turn on the recessed lights at the very
bottom of the front bumper, one on each side?

2.  Is it possible to change the factory set entrance code
on the 5-button panel on the outside of the driver's door?

3.  The radio volume display shows a small "earphone" symbol
all the time.  Is that normal, or does it indicate that
something is engaged, and if so, how can that something be
disengaged to turn off the earphone symbol?

4.  Perhaps related to question 3, there is a set of buttons
at the rear of the center console, accessible to the rear
seat passengers.  There are labels, but I can't figure out
how they work or what they control.  Any ideas?

5.  There is an oval shaped device about the size of a slice
of lemon mounted on the driver-side visor.  It has several
buttons, one of which records things one says, one of which
plays those things back, and one which I believe deletes the
items recorded.  Additionally, there are 3 more buttons
whose function are a mystery to me.  Any ideas?  There
appears to be no wiring going to this device, and no obvious
way to change a battery, so I wonder how it is powered - any
ideas?

6.  Where does one purchase tissues in a box that measures
6&5/8" x 4&7/8"?  This box fits inside the center console,
but I have not seen such size boxes of tissues in either
automobile stores like Pep Boys, Kragen, etc, or
grocery/drug stores.

All ideas, and pointers to other sources of information,
appreciated.  (Previous attempts to obtain these types of
answers from dealer personnel have not inspired confidence
that such attempts would be fruitful.)

Thanks.
