   Hi Pat.  I'm not knowledgeable about cars, but PROM is an acronym for
PROGRAMMABLE READ-ONLY MEMORY.  It should be no problem to re-program it
with the proper equipment.  I assume you took it to a Chrysler dealer?
   Again, I'm not real sure about cars, but from a software / programming
point of view, something seems wrong.
