    keyless entry code?

    Sorry the link didn't work. I didn't have time to check it. However I just searched again and had many pages when I looked for 'keyless entry code' one was for a 3rd gen like yours. Try it and pick a link. Seems like it might be on the passenger door panel.

    can't pass a pump

    Search for 'My quest for 30' or anything posted by Aldive. Oh yeah, make sure you have some time to kill 'cause you are about to be schooled! I could barely see after I got thru with that thread. Welcome to the site and good luck with your upcoming mods!

    02 Explorere window Drivers

    Sounds like a short of some kind. Have you checked the wires where they run from the door thru into the body? maybe some rubbing/pinching going on. Hang on I'm sure some will chime in with a fix.

    Remote access

    On 3rd gens you can tell by getting in the X, shut door and then cycle the key between on and start(Don't turn it over but the one before it. Does that make sense? Should probably get off my butt and look to see what they are labeled) quickly 8-9 times. If you have it the locks will lock. If...

    automatic headlight sensor location ?

    That's it. I couldn't figure out why my lights were on yesterday, wasn't that cloudy out but they were on. Turns out I had thrown my hat on the dash and covered the sensor. So if you want them on early chuck your hat up there! :D

    CB communications

    Check www.firestik.com and read thru their recommendations. Sometimes your antenna just needs to be 'tuned'. Could also be connectors, improper length of cable etc. Might be worth it before you shell out for something else.

    Help Get Paint Off Car

    Try these products. Goof-Off, or Goo Gone. Home Depot or paint store should have them. Check area first to make sure it doesn't hurt anything. Black sharpie works great as a cover up
