#80 of 89 Re: Electrical Problems, door switches and gauges [rfbigpaw] by gmscam Sep 02, 2009 (3:46 am)
Replying to: rfbigpaw (Aug 25, 2009 5:52 am) Had simular problem a few years ago when I changed the weather stripping. Arlam would go off periodicly and couldn't shut it down. OK this is what was happening, the door lach was a bit worn so new weather strip was not allowing the door to fully lock and the alarm sensor detected the door was open setting off the alarm and draining the battery. Changed the lach's and everything went back to normal. Hope that helps.   93 Ruby Anniversary, original owner

Replying to: rfbigpaw (Aug 25, 2009 5:52 am) I am now having the same exact problem. It appears to be the harness which is what I was thinking was wrong. Was that the fix? Replies to this message: zr1z71lt1 (Sep 22, 2009 4:10 pm)

#83 of 89 85 Corvette Instrument Panel by pboz Sep 28, 2009 (11:47 am)
When I turn on the key of my 85 Vette the gages light up, but they are very dim. Speedometer and tach light up fine. So far the only thing I have done is take the module out & take it apart checking for bad bulbs. Fat chance. I suspect I have some kind of a grounding problem, but I can't figure out where it grounds. Thanks

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 10, 2006 7:44 pm) I have a 07 C6 and while driving down the road my dash and radio went blank and then came back on with the radio set to a default setting. Went to the dealer for warranty and they could not find anything in thememory. Their suggestion was if and when it happened again, I should call On-Star and request a diagnostic. What should I be looking for? Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 08, 2009 1:28 am)

Replying to: higgy62 (Oct 07, 2009 9:04 am) They gave you a dumb answer. Onstar can only see the same 'codes' that are set and can be read out by the dealer. If it set a code, and even if the code cleared quickly, it usually is stored in memory as a 'History' code.   In general, it looks like something opened up the power to the circuit to the dash and radio for a short time. Or something went bad in a computer module for these.   About the only thing you can do now is get into the fuse box (boxes) and wiggle the fuses and breakers and relays and make sure they are all well seated.   And wait for it to happen again, permanently.

Replying to: las091964 (Sep 29, 2008 5:51 am) I have a 92 vette also, and experienced the same problem after the car sat up for a few months but they eventually started working correctly on their own. Now if I could just find out why my display will not show anything, no speed, fuel nothing!

Replying to: comanche1 (May 27, 2008 12:34 pm) Comanche1, Hi I have a 1999 Corvette convertable and the exact same thing happened to me driving up to SF last nite.

Replying to: a1hans1 (Oct 22, 2009 7:31 am) I ended up at the dealer. It turned out to me a bad wire in the harness that runs from the door switches thru the door post to the connection behind the side kick panel on the left side of driver. Suprise it was only $ 86 dollars installed.
#89 of 89 Bad starter? by ross Dec 03, 2009 (7:24 pm)
I have a 95 LT1. The last two times I drove it, when I turned the key, the idiot lights came on but nothing else happened. I turned the key off and turned it on again and it started immediately. I thought I had not originally turned it far enough the first time, but after the second time, think that I may have a developing problem. Anybody else have a problem starting like this? I have occassionally had to jump it off if I don't drive it for a few weeks, but that is expected due to the alarm from what I read on here. I am capable of replacing the starter myself, but I don't want to play musical parts until I find the right defective part. Thanks for any help.
