Replying to: slimmerson (Dec 03, 2006 9:02 am) Well, if the other side is still working, there are only about 3 areas that can be causing this.   1)Dead motor. 2)Bad wiring. 3)Bad switch.   What kind of mechanical skills and/or tools do you have?   Basically, can you remove the door panel?

Replying to: slimmerson (Dec 03, 2006 9:02 am) I know this might sound crazy but I heard a guy at our corvette club meeting say the chevy dealer told him to hold the window button down and slam the door several times, who knows it might work. When you leave your car setting a lot the contact get rust on it. Good luck Replies to this message: bolivar (Dec 09, 2006 9:34 pm)

Replying to: motorhead1 (Dec 09, 2006 7:17 am) Yea, that might work. When it does, it usually isn't making a failing switch work, it makes a failing motor work. It moves the motor armature enough so it get off a 'bad spot' and then works.   For a few times. Then it fails again. And the same thing could happen for a failing switch.   Get it fixed. It may fail the next time in a down position. With it raining. Or 30 degrees outside.
#7 of 89 Corvette C4 Apparent Short by stiger Jun 08, 2007 (10:27 am)
I am about to inherit a 1984 Vette. There is a report problem – i.e. apparent short and the battery runs down when parked. My brother (the current owner) was told that there is a problem with this model and the dashboard shorts. I have heard of similar problems where batteries drain because of clocks and radios. Has anyone encountered this type of problem with an early C4? Replies to this message: imatt (Dec 29, 2007 12:59 pm)
#8 of 89 93 Corvette Electrical - Garage Door Opener by alrezendes Oct 31, 2007 (5:12 am)
I know this probably sounds very strange, but the past few months my garage door opener only works when I shut off my '93 Corvette. New batteries did not work. We called the garage door opener and nothing they told us worked. I called my Corvette mechanic, and he never heard of such a thing. The car also has intermittent electrical problems. One week the locks work from my remote, one week they don't. Same with the trunk latch.   Any ideas or anyone out there with similar problems??
#9 of 89 guage cluster wont light up by mopartr Nov 23, 2007 (10:45 am)
Hi guys, just joined-hope you can help. My wife has an 87 Corvette rag top. About a year ago, the dash lights just suddenly went out. The gauges still came to life. In the right daylight you could see them all working, but they wouldn't light up on their own. Very difficult to drive at night. I checked everything I could think of. They mysteriously started working all by themselves about a month later, and have been fine ever since. Until now. A couple months ago they went out again, and wont come back. Again I have checked every fuse, relay, switch....What am I missing? Whatever is doing this is capable of connecting and disconnecting by itself. The car is a toy and only gets driven on good days. It's your basic Vette with power everything, auto trans and 88,000 miles. Please help! Thanks in advance......T.R.

Replying to: mopartr (Nov 23, 2007 10:45 am) it's gotta be a grounding problem. replace/reconnect dash ground wires? if the ground wire is completely disconnected, maybe broken inside the insulation, you can sometimes get symptoms like you describe due to the ground 'floating'.
