No, it had nothing to do with it. I had 238A which included everything in 235A and 236A- Duratec V6 system (4 wheel disc, 195/65R14 Michellins, tachometer, performance tuned steering and suspension systems), and ATX.
The 236A is all features in 235A (Full length center floor console and radio/cassette, A/C, rear window Defroster/heated mirrors and body colored power mirrors), and Group 3 (IIuminated passenger sun visor, rear door courtesy light switches, load compartment light, front map/reading light, front footwell illumination, illuminated door handles, and power door locks) and Speed control.
Maybe yours was one of the early 1996s. Mine was a late 1996.
