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
