ok well I went on vacation put on 3100miles total. everything worked fine till I got in wisconsin then it decided not to work. it's kinda hard to defrost a windshield without using the defroster. it's also a real big pain when driving at 2am then you turn the blower motor on and the headlights shutoff @ 60mph on a back road(yeah that was fun). and the whole way home the stereo was fading randomly. So my question is do I have to have it programmed by the dealer or is there a way I can do it myself? I have read there is two ways to do it but I cant afford to be without a car right now. This is what I found so far....
