According to the 2002 owners manual your wheel lock key should fit in a "small depression" in the trunk rail directly under the left rear compartment cover. This is found on page 6-52. On my 2000 coupe it is there but it is easy to miss. Take the left storage compartment cover off and look at the right side near the back of the compartment. It is nothing more than a dip in the sidewall between the middle and left compartments. When the left cover is replaced it holds the key in place. Go to my photo albums and see the three wheel lock storage photos

I'm going out to look right now. I couldn't find a key and a friend said the locks must be aftermarket. So, I got them off by driving an impact socket on them. If the key ends up being in the trunk, I'm going to feel real "senior" too!!

I have looked but still can't find a shift light for the manual trans. Not that is a big deal but sure got me a hunting for it. This is a nice reminder list, these c5's have a lot of hidden talent.

How do I leave headlights up w/o parking lights
staying on?
Just me , I guess, but I love the look of the headlights up all the time. Reminds me of the beautiful white on black '71 350/350 I should have never sold on which I could override the lights. Us old guys get weird.
Would love to leave 'em open all the time.
