Well I did get a new file fom my vendor, but it's a DCi file (?).
I opened it in Excel and it doesn't contain the info I was expecting. Looks completely worthless at this point.

For the SIDE BOX OPTION
You have to tell the code which top-level category to start from.
In /includes/functions/extra_functions/product_finder_sidebox.php
around line 56 look for
function zen_get_category_tree($parent_id = '99', $category_tree_array = '') {
The 99 is my top-level category, change it to yours.
How do we find out what ours is.
Go into your admin and into your catalog. Find the top level catergory you want to use and there should be a number listed next to it. That is your number

NM. I set up ONE master category and threw my other categories in it BUT when I go to the site and pick a category the second drop down doesn't do anythnig.
Is this strictly based on years, make and model?
Here is how I have mine set up
MASTER CATEGORY
FIRST CHOICE DROP DOWN - [GM, FORD, MOPAR]
SECOND CHOICE ARE ACTUALLY JUST MODELS SO SAY WE PICKED GM
THEN GM WOULD HAVE UNDERNEATH IT
NOVA, CHEVELLE, ETC.
THEN THE THIRD CHOICE, SAY WE PICKED NOVA
THE THIRD CHOICE WOULD HAVE
ENGINES, TIRES, AND WHEELS
AND WHEN YOU PICKED SAY ENGINES, THEN THE PARTS WOULD SHOW UP ON THE MIDDLE SCREEN
No it isn't based on just the year, make, model. You should be able to do it as you have it.
Things to check:
Make sure all your categories are linked together so when you pick GM. everything under gm is linked to it. Then when you pick Nova, all years the car is made sho up. That was the mistake I made on my first one.
Check the script to ensure you uploaded it correctly.
Go into the admin/categories and check the path for all your items. In here you will best be able to see any issues.

The script was uploaded right. Also how do I checknthe links are correct. Is there any other change I need to make otjer than stated in the instructions? If I created a sub category and products they should already be linked? There's nothing I really need to check? I guess whst I'm saying is 'check path and links' is what I dont get. I shouldnt have to. I create a cat, create a sub cat and put products. Its done for me or am I misundersyanding you
To make sure the category structure is correct I made some notes here for you....
MASTER CATEGORY
FIRST CHOICE DROP DOWN (inside the master category "folder") - [GM, FORD, MOPAR]
SECOND CHOICE ARE ACTUALLY JUST MODELS SO SAY WE PICKED GM
THEN GM WOULD HAVE UNDERNEATH IT
(inside the GM "folder") NOVA, CHEVELLE, ETC.
THEN THE THIRD CHOICE, SAY WE PICKED NOVA
THE THIRD CHOICE WOULD HAVE
(inside the NOVA "folder") ENGINES, TIRES, AND WHEELS
AND WHEN YOU PICKED SAY ENGINES, THEN THE PARTS WOULD SHOW UP ON THE MIDDLE SCREEN.
PRODUCTS WOULD THEN BE LOCATED, BY LINKING, IN THE ENGINES, TIRES, AND WHEELS FOLDER/CATEGORY.
