Have found the C7 is different! First, there is no fuse panel inside the C7, there is one in the engine compartment and one in the rear, under the mat, near the battery. Getting the mat up is not as easy as it sounds! The right corner comes up with minor difficulty and you can see the...

Hard to use the mirror power since no access and GM says the wires (that are all inside) are not "tap friendly!" I tried to tap into the passenger sun visor mirro light. It is also not "tap freindly" as it instantly tripped the breaker twice! All wiring was correct and the 2 amp fuse was...

Bug and Tar Remover with Wax Some of the responses to your question must come from folks who don't live n the country! I live in the South; 16 miles from town and starting in April bugs are a major issue when driving fast (why else do you have a Corvette!) I had purchased a product at a car...

In fact they no longer are using lights on top of their cars in our area! You just see flashing blue light coming from the grille etc, when they stop someone. Hard to pick out a local from the front or back of their car! Jerry

Sounds interesting! I'll add to the suggestions given above however; Y'all may be able to say that to a cop in the PNW but try that in SC where I live and I'll "gar-un-tee" your tail will be hauled in for something! Jerry

Agree with what you are saying and your suggestions. However just had an incident that my ESCORT 9500ix that saved me a ticket! (Had ESCORT upgrade my 9500i to an ix, with the 9500ix you can download camera traffic light and speed trap locations from their web site!) Was pulling onto a 4...

Check Out Your Cell Phone Had similar problem in this sense. Car would open but would not start. Removed Key Fob and all worked fine. Found out after this happened several times the key fob was in the same pocket as my cell phone! Check out your owners manual. My 2008 manual says "Check...

Hi, First pull out the key. Manual doesn't say that but you can then use a screwdriver to pry the two sections apart. If you don't you would need a shape knife with a stong blade. By the way in support of my other post on not keeping the key fob and cell phone in the same pocket-just had the...

I Was Starting to Wonder If It Was Me! Hi, Thanks for the reply. Surprised we haven't seen more posts on the subject. Glad you observed the same thing. Perhaps these posts will help others. As the GM Owners Manual says the system works at radio frequences. Jerry

Validated My Previous Finding July 2009, Have validated the above previous post made months ago. Have gotten the "No Key Fob" message 3 or 4 more times. Everytime the Key Fob was in the same pocket as my cell phone! Took it out of the pocket and all was fine! It has not happended other times...

Hard to Remove Hi, Mine was very hard to remove the first time as well. Had to push hard on the little button on the side, then pull with a lot of effort. Took several tries before it came out. I would let the dealer try. If they break it with a plyers they buy the new one! Jerry

I Have Had Similar Problem Several Times Hi, See you've tried everything! I have a 2008 and recently had this happen. I, as you did, had a long distance check of the panic alarm and it worked well. Since the car is about a year old I thought I would check the battery anyway. Did that with a...

Thanks for the tip. Ocationally I get some spots that are hard to remove, will try the WD-40. Do like the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover with wax. It is great for the normal bugs which I get every time I drive this time of year here in the country in SC . Maybe I'm going too fast, but why have...

Must be better Bugs in Indiana! Guess there must be smaller less acidic bugs in Indiana than SC! I have tried a number of products including one that is sold only by mail in a aerosole spray can. This is the only one that works for me with little effot. It's not unusual to have several quarter...

This Products Works Well! In the South we have lots of bugs in the summer. My 2008 Velocity Yellow Vette looks terrible with red bug splats! I looked at may products and found this Product works great. I keep a spray bottle on the bench in the garage in front of my car and spray bug splats...
