    Default Stomp Codes aggravation

    I often have trouble getting the stomp codes to display. Sometimes I have to try it four or five times. I've found that it seems to help if you have the fan in the off position when you turn the key as well as having any other electronic devices switched off. I've also had better luck not pressing the pedal down too quickly and making sure that I feel the click of the downshift button on each press.

    I GOT IT!!! I think a note needs to be made saying that the 5 stomps need to be done within 5 seconds of the key being turned. When I was trying it for the second round it kind of clicked in my little head that maybe the 'within 5 seconds' meant not 5 seconds within the start of the stomping, but the turn of the key... : )

    Anyway, the code was 1221, and it kept looping. It did not stop like the instructions said. As far as I gather it is the first oxygen sensor. Should I replace it? Look at it? Leave it? And where is it? (is it right after the filter box in the front?)

    I thank both of you for your help thusfar... And I never could get those rear seats up. Maybe I should try that again too (any suggestions?).

    Thanks again,
    Andy

    I like to get the back seat out one side at a time. It's usually real hard the first time you do it if it hasn't been done in a long time. Get in the back and get both hands on the bottom lip and pull straight up a good jerk. Once that side has loosened, do the other side.
