#1356 of 1906 98 vette fob stopped working altogether by mrboogedy Aug 15, 2005 (6:53 pm)
I have a 98 vette. The driver side door lock was always a little erratic when using the fob; then it stopped working. Shortly thereafter, the passenger side door lock stopped working with the fob also. The dealer wanted $500 to replace the locking solenoids in both doors. I didn't replace either because I suspect that this is a defective system in this model of vettes; and I'd have bet I'd be revisiting this problem again in the future. I'm reduced to unlocking my vette with the key - how quaint!

Hey guys. I usually hang out in the Jeep Wrangler group, but my sister just bought a 1980 Corvette. Not a big fan of this particular car, even though I like Vettes in general. I've read here it's not a very collectible year, and I think she's got the basest engine possible. I understand it's a 25 year old car, and will have quirks, but I'm really wary of the aftermarket interior (seats, dash, steering wheel, etc). Can't even guarantee the engine is original. All of this is to ask where a good place is to find parts and accessories, preferably online. I've been poking around eBay, but am hoping there's a place, or places, online that are reputable. And a source to find what parts/accessories actually pair with this vehicle (maybe a Chilton's or an original owner's manual). If it helps, for a leads on a brick & mortar store, we're located in Southern Cal.   Thanks, Mike   P.S. Priority number one -- finding an aftermarket cupholder!!!

#1361 of 1906 resetting the oil life remaining message by bigmike5 Aug 25, 2005 (3:01 pm)
I had the oil changed on my 04 a week or two ago, and just realized yesterday that they did not reset the "oil life remaining" message on the DIC. I figured if I just held the reset button down it would recycle, but when I did that it came up with ___ ___ ___% for that reading. I couldn't figure out how to get the 100% numbers to appear in the reading. Can anyone help or did I screw the pooch by holding the reset too long?

Replying to: bigmike5 (Aug 25, 2005 3:01 pm) No problem---you probably had the car running. The bible saith: "TURN IGNITION SWITCH TO ON, WITH THE ENGINE OFF. PRESS RESET AND HOLD FOR TWO SECONDS." Bingo, you get the 100%. That should do it for you.
#1363 of 1906 Oil setting by bigmike5 Aug 26, 2005 (5:36 am)
Yes, you are correct, I was running at the instant I noticed it had not been changed. Thanks. I need to re-read the manual again. I try to do that about every six months just so things eventually sink in.

Tried the suggested fix and it worked with no sweat. Thanks again. Replies to this message: gbjerke (Aug 26, 2005 3:44 pm) bigmike5 (Aug 28, 2005 7:52 am)

Replying to: bigmike5 (Aug 26, 2005 2:51 pm) No problem bigmike...I may even remember it myself next time. Am on my second C5 and EVERY time I get the oil changed I have to get the manual out to do the reset! I merely blame it on old age! Replies to this message: bigmike5 (Aug 28, 2005 7:52 am)
