Ok, Brought the 85 Vette into the shop on Saturday, tell the tech "There's no air blowing out the vents" and "another shop installed a brand new blower motor". He says bring the car in on Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon he calls and says "I see rust in your radiator, you should bring the car to...

I will confirm over this weekend that the motor is good/working. Will also check if the control panel is faulty. Will report my findings Saturday evening. Thanks for your help with this. Tony

No airflow into car. At one point before purchasing a new blower motor (last week), it was operating - sporadically - hot air was blowing through the vents, but moving the slider to another setting would make it stop blowing.... perhaps an electrical issue?

This is the manual HVAC panel. From what I remember, even if the blower is not working, one would still feel slight heat coming from the vents; I feel only the slightest sensation of warmth emanating from the vents, the slightest. As mentioned there is a new blower installed. Is it possible...

Hello all No heat blowing from the vents. Installed new blower motor, had mechanic check grounds, still no blow! I don't have the time to try and fix this myself and its too cold out anyway for driveway attempts. What should I expect if I give the car to a qualified mechanic and say "I need...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph Ok, So I picked up my "Vette last week: ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION: TV cable has been put in Car is shifting fine - I still don't think its perfect ABOUT THE GAS TANK: New gas tank was not put in. After seeing the amount of labor required...

Battery drain 1985 I had a battery drain on my '85. Finally realized it was the "door open" button in the door jamb on the passenger side. While the door WAS closed, it would just not push the button in far enough to turn off the light. It is possible not to notice the 2 courtesy lights. I...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph ( John - BoomDriver - Marv02 - thanks for all of your excellent suggestions and information. UPDATE: My friend Paul (who used to manage AAMCO in Toms River, NJ) came and picked up the Vette Thursday night 12/15/2011 with his flatbed. He...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph The car has been parked for 2 weeks, with only a trip around the block just to keep everything running. I don't get the car up over 30mph. It's been parked because of the Trans problem and also the gas tank problem. (New gas tank has...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't do more than 30 mph! Damn!, I certainly do see that TV cable.... so if all 1985 Corvettes are supposed to have that cable in place: Why is it that the car has been to 4 different "mechanics" and none of them can diagnose that theres no TV cable there...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph I just went out and took a few pictures just to re-confirm to myself; here they are: Thanks about the lay off concern: Actually my last day was August 18th, they continued to pay me until Nov. 28. I'll get 10,000 severance (minus...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph My '85 Vette only has 2 cables up top. I have seen pictures of this "button" on the side of the cable, but perhaps that is on later Vettes? IDK. For the 2 months that this car was driven after its revival from the dead, the shifts were a...

Ok, I will talk with the Transmission shop and get a synopsis of their intentions, confirm price and warranty. As for the first shop that diagnosed the problem and said tranny needs rebuild; I did not bring the car back to them or revisit them; When I first brought the car to them, I sensed...

Ok, so now that I got yer attention. . . lol Please note in the picture below that there are some nuts and bolts missing from the forward section of my C4 Hood. I need these replaced sooner rather than later. What size and type am I looking for? I don't necessarily need "correct" bolts, I...

'85 Automatic not shifting, can't go more than 30 mph Thanks Pete K and GeekinaVette... This is where I am going to need some real tight guiding.... Like you, I understand that there is ALOT of room for "the cash grab" when I go to the Transmission shop. I have ALWAYS been very very...
