thanks to a closer read of one of the FAQ's from that Lombardi dude, and ebay, instead of having only 1 partial functional fob, I now have 3 fully functional fobs. (and 1 maybe still partial functional fob.) I think the trick was inserting the key, then pulling back the flasher stalk.

Anyway, my Security/Locking On/Off dinger is barely audible. This would purely be a someday fix, but any ideas of what/where to look?

Thanks,
