Ken,

Ya, I checked out the archives for a long time and could not find anything on 
this specific problem. All I could find was information on the odometer 
freezing problem which is triggered by pressing the tripometer while the car is 
moving... I would greatly appreciate the information if you know where to look in 
archives. My original message 1998 in is in the archives but I don't remember 
the responses I got and once again I became too busy I suppose (my fault). I 
due remember that none of the responses I got were all that helpful... My 
original message is here:

O=T&T=1&m=49438</A>

Thanks for taking the time,
-Chris

It has been sometime so details are fuzzy. I suggest you
peruse the archives. I now this has been disscussed before
and hopefully you can find some useful details. I am at work
right now but when I get home I will look at the spare. That
is if I haven't tossed it.
