Thanks. I'll take it slow.

As for the keyfob THE FCC ID # IS ABO0204T . GM PART 10246215 , CANADA # 218101487 New battery installed.

How can I test this without buying another remote??

The remote appears to be correct. Good question. On another similar year GP. Any '97-'00 as long as it is the 4 button remote.

Do you have an Autozone nearby? Most have an Everready battery point of sale display with a remote tester. Don't know how good the test is or what it will prove but it at least checks to see if the remote is transmitting some signal.

Thanks. There is an AutoZone down the street. I'll take it there and see if they have the display or can assist. Thanks!!!

Hello All,

Well, thanks to all the great info and tips here at AF, I got my fuel sending unit replaced today. I was a bit hesitant but went ahead slowly and did it step by step. I removed the rear seat, disconnected the battery, removed the fuel pump cover and after cleaing up the pump finally got it out and replaced the bad fuel sending unit. I put everything back together, checked all the connections and then reconnected the battery and fired up the car to check for leaks. I did not see any leaks on the top of the pump or under the car so I assume I got the O-ring seated properly. (I did not have to lubricate the ring, once I got it centered and pushed straight down it seated itself.)
I'll keep an eye on it for a few days and see how it goes.

Thanks to all! I'll definitely be back to tackle more projects.

Ok, I took it to my local Auto Zone and tested it on the EverReady display. It responds on all the buttons in the RF so that must mean the remote is good.
Here's what I am doing. Sitting in the drivers seat with the MALL PGM fuse removed and all doors closed, I insert the key and turn it to ACC (there is 2 chimes) then back to off, then back to ACC (within 1 sec). I open the drivers door (2 chimes) and close it (2 chimes). Holding the Lock+Unlock buttons does nothing after 14 secs. Am I doing it wrong? BTW, I assume ACC on the key cylinder is down (the labels are faded off on the column).
Help!!
