Thanks again BurningRom...last night I was fed up, my stereo had also gone into LOC mode, actually INOP mode, as I do not have the original owner's security code...so I unplugged the battery and voila, my transmitters were now working...go figure...I could kill....anyhow I ended up finding out how to get the factory security code for the radio and got that working....all is well now....
Thanks again....Jeff
