Feeling cockey after conquering the top removal & central locking problems, thanks to Bob
Terry's guidance. Tried his guidlines (1/15/04 #1348323) re the above and it worked. Had no continuity between pin #5 & #7 of the warning module; opened it up and removed the diode (traced back fm those pins on the circuit board); found a replacement in stock @ radio shack and soldered it in place with a soldering pencil and it works!! Diode is labeled "IN4005" radio shack #276-1104 in the rectifier diode drawer. Two per pack @ $.89. The module would have been $89.00! We're 3 for 3 Bob. Thanks again.
