Notes:
*1 May be more than one - test to verify which one powers blower and A/C controls.  *2 On the 3.0 liter motor the tach wire is yellow/black. On the 3.8 it is dark blue/light green. Follow spark plug wires to coil assembly on both motors.  *3 The keyless module is behind center storage compartment.   *4 One of two, the larger gauge one is the parking light wire.

Thanks Jason, everything works fine except the door ajar sign, interior light and buzzer stay on at times.  The power door locks do work, just wondering why I'm having these problems ....any suggestions? 

Thank you

Larry
