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:
- How does one turn on the recessed lights at the very bottom of the front bumper, one on each side?
- Is it possible to change the factory set entrance code on the 5-button panel on the outside of the driver's door?
- 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?
- 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?
- 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?
- Where does one purchase tissues in a box that measures
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.
