    Help! Fuel Gauge problem

    Common problem due to build-up on the gauge floats. Try some Techron additive (available at any parts store) to dissolve the build-up. It may take a little while, but many have found this fixes the problem. Also, Chevron gas has this additive in the fuel, so will prevent it from coming back.

    Help! 2003 C5 Hood warpage Issue

    The top edge of the nose is held to the frame with small bolts and clips. The easy fix is to pop these in the affected area and place small washers to act as shims to align the nose with the hood. Worked great for me!

    Heater Problems

    I had a similar experience when I disconnected the battery. The actuator codes were thrown and I had the different temp issue on the two sides. Once you clear the codes, you should hear your actuators cycle through their ranges. This should re-set them and your HVAC problem should be solved...

    Belt Squeak

    There is a saying: "once you go Gatorback, you never go back" :D. They do make one for the A/C as well.

    Belt Squeak

    I had this same problem. Go to Autozone and get a Gatorback belt. It will fix your chirp. It fixed mine!

    Drivers Side window Problem!!

    Mine started doing that a while back. Started occasionally, then became more frequent. Finally died with the window open. Turned out the window motor locked up. Some folks say that you can take the door panel off and pound on the motor to break it free. I didn't bother, just replaced the whole...

    Spare Tire

    OK - here is the deal: obviously C-5's don't have jacks and spares. As prior posts have stated, coupes and FRCs have runflats. ZO6 have regular tires with "slime" kit. I switched from RF to regular for improved ride. The reality of RFs are they will generally get you off the road in a...

    Spare Tire

    I'm ashamed of all of you. Of course there is a jack on a C-5. See: This jack is used to put the C-5 spare on. See:

    Bose 12 Disc CD Changer

    Had mine re-built in 2004 by Doctor Don's in Huntsville, TX. The number I have is 936-435-1811. They did a fine job. Hopefully they are still in business.

    Help! Changing a C-5 battery

    If your radio's theft-deterrent feature is not active, you will have no problem. If it is, when you re-connect the battery it will show LOC. You will need to enter the code to unlock it (should be with your car's paperwork). If you don't have it and you get LOC, there is a do-it-yourself method...

    Bose 12 Disc CD Changer

    These CD changers are notorious for "locking up". The fix is a re-build. A number of shops will do this for about $100, but you send it out to them. Mine took about a week and has been fine ever since. Hope you don't get screwed with a bad changer on E-bay. $75 is way too cheap for a used one...

    Question: Air-conditioning problems 2001

    Gee, reply to my own post - oh well:eyerole. My understanding of the need to manually re-align the actuator doors after the voltage has been removed is a "quirk" with 97-00 models. 01-04 had a "fix" incorporated to do this automatically. Looks like the original poster has a 2001. Sorry.
