Replying to: wfr (Jan 09, 2008 7:43 am)  If you run the charger at home and then are away for a couple weeks it will probably last longer than if you have left it several times in a row without charging in between. One solution is to drive it more.  As for is this common, it goes back to the C5's so yes it is common and you probably have lots more draw on a C6. Randy |

Replying to: riese (Dec 30, 2007 2:14 pm) The current model tire sensors have a battery in them. With supposed life of 5 years. The ones on this car might just need batteries. Or, the wheels were switched around when mounting tires or rotating, and just need to be re-set. |

Replying to: wfr (Jan 09, 2008 7:43 am) This is a new car. The dealer should fix it. If they do not have a tech with enough electrical knowledge to track down the drain, take it somewhere else. Is it actually a dead battery, or is the FOB not being recognized. FOB not being recognized is a known problem with 2008's, and the dealer should also have TSB's about this problem. I think the Body Control, or whatever module/computer that controls the security and starting system, is what has to be replaced to fix this problem.

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 09, 2008 4:19 pm) Thank you for the reply. My service people at the dealership said that the 50ma drain is normal and that nothing is wrong. They just said to get a battery charger. |

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 09, 2008 4:19 pm) I forgot to answer one of your questions. It was a dead (low) battery. The FOB was recognized. Thanks.

Replying to: wfr (Jan 11, 2008 6:25 am) And I think Corvettes live a hard life if they sit on a dealer's lot for any lenght of time. If the dealer allows it, a lot of people can be getting into the car, moving the seats, leaving the doors open, maybe starting it up and not running for any length of time. This leads to a badly discharged battery. Modern 'sealed' batteries, if severly discharged, will can never be re-charged to full charge. The number I've seen, is a sealed battery discharged will only recharge to about 80% of it's original capacity. If discharged again, this falls even lower.

| 02 Z06, daily driver,19000 miles with a new battery. Every once in a while when I turn the key it acts like the battery is dead or the clutch isn't on the floor. It starts after several tries but yesterday it took about 20 tries. I'm afraid to take it to the dealer because he'll keep it a week, charge a fortune and find nothing wrong. Any hints? Thanks, Joe. | |

02 conv. vett. 2 days ago the switches on the driver door would not work at all. After opening and closing the door they would again work. Then the following day all the switches went out and while driving the oil went to zero, the Temp went to red and messages began to apear telling me, check engine, low engine power, check tire pressure and some more. I pulled over, shut the car down and upon restarting everything functioned fine except the door switched. As I pulled away it started all over again (3 times) .I opened the door and squeezed the boot holding the wires and the door switches worked. All mechanical functions seemed to work fine during all this.
