82 vette i have a short in my system that is not fuse protected at least i dont think so because im not getting any blown fuse's and it is continous. when i parked it last evening the alarm sounded and i could not get it to quit so i disconnected the battery and when i reconnect this A M i had a very strong spark at the battery, the car run's and the amp gauge show's about 13.5 volts at all times but my battery went dead when just in for breakfast. I am not familiar with the alarm system on this car (ie how to shut it off or dismantle it) and there is nothing i can find in my manual's that refer to the alarm. Can anyone out there help me Thanks Sandy

Replying to: comanche1 (May 27, 2008 12:34 pm) I'm experiencing the same problems comanche1 had (same year vehicle). Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what was the solution? Contacted a few dealers and they all seam to think the main computer is bad but that's CHA CHING! CHA CHING! and I really do not want to go that route unless I have to. I have supplied what comanche1 wrote below. Thanks everyone.   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 Replies to this message: comanche1 (Aug 25, 2009 7:13 am) rfbigpaw (Aug 25, 2009 9:42 am) gmscam (Sep 02, 2009 3:46 am) pmourry (Sep 10, 2009 4:46 am) zr1z71lt1 (Sep 22, 2009 4:10 pm)

Replying to: rfbigpaw (Aug 25, 2009 5:52 am) I finally had a dealer replace the wire harness that passes from door to body. After moving the plastic shroud around the harness it would sometimes work momentarily. Clue to the problem. Comanche1 Replies to this message: rfbigpaw (Aug 25, 2009 9:42 am)

After turning the headlights off both lights go down but the left one pops back up about 3/4 of the way. Cycling the lights again they come on fine but again when they go down the left pops up abut 3/4 of the way.

Replying to: comanche1 (Aug 25, 2009 7:13 am) When you replaced the harness, did that solve the problems. I'm thinking it may be a short in the harness because my drivers window would not let up and it was not until i squeezed the harness did the window go up. Now the battery is down, GEEZ...I'm starting to taste lemonade.

Just bought a 2009 Z-06. The saleman told me always to park in reverse or the battery would flat. Had it 7 months now, no problems. Replies to this message: dchalky (Aug 28, 2009 8:46 pm) bolivar (Aug 28, 2009 9:10 pm)

Replying to: billz6 (Aug 28, 2009 8:31 pm) If I remember, parking with car in reverse was a 2005 requirement. No longer applies to C6 after 2005. Replies to this message: bolivar (Aug 28, 2009 9:10 pm)
