    Help! DIC code C1214

    Had the same problem with my 02. Started at the end of the season last year pulling code C1214. I cleaned all the grounds and though I had fixed, but is was back in the spring. It was intermittent at first. It would be on for a day or two and then clear up for a couple of weeks. About 3 weeks...

    Need alignment shop - central Mass

    Last month the wife and I took the vette on a 3500 mile road trip. When we returned I noticed a little uneven tire wear and cupping on the inside edges of the front tires. Before I put new rubber on it, I need to get the alignment check out. Looking for a good alignment shop here in...

    Wipers have a mind of there own

    Hi Patrick Turns out it was the switch. Unpluged the cable from the switch and the wipers parked right away. Replaced the switch yesterday afternoon and everything is OK now. John

    Wipers have a mind of there own

    No codes. I found some info on testing to see if it's a switch problem and that will be my next move. I guess the wiper switches can fail causing this problem. John

    Wipers have a mind of there own

    Replaced the module today with a new cover kit. Still have the same problem, wipers run all the time. The washer button seams to be working OK, it pumps only when it's pushed and the wipers run a little faster on high. The motor looked clean and dry, doesn't look like a water problem. Any...

    Wipers have a mind of there own

    Thanks for the input, I did check the rubber drains and they were dry. Don't know if it's been wet in the past and that's what's causing a problem now. I'm off the Bahamas for a few days. When I get back I'll pull it apart and see what I find. Sound like I may just need a cover kit to solve...

    Wipers have a mind of there own

    Went out last night to take my 02 for a ride and when I turned the key on the wipers started up. The wipers were off when the car was parked last and it hasn’t been out in the rain for days. Moving the switch through the different positions has no effect on the wipers. Is this something that...

    WINTERIZING ?THIS MAY BE A SHORT WINTER ?

    One thing no one has mentioned yet is fuel stabilizer. Late fall I change the oil, start adding fuel stabilizer each time I top the tank up, cause you never know when the snow will fly around here, and take it out for a run when the weather is nice and the roads are clean and dry. If it looks...

    No start electrical problem - 94

    The low battery light on the dash is really a charging indicator. With the ignition switch in run or start position the light will be on if the engine is not running, that’s normal and has nothing to do with you starting problem. If it happens again a quick way to check that it’s not the...

    Help with Bose Stereo

    If it's the same as the radio in my 02 it's part of the THEFTLOCK system, a theft deterrent feature on the radio. If the system is turned on the LED will blink when the car is not running. If you remove the radio at that point or disconnect the battery the radio is locked and you need a code...

    02 Instrument Panel lights – question

    Thanks Jistari That's what mine do, wish they would stay on during the day. I find the instrument panel is too dark for my tastes but then I have gotten used to using the heads up display most of the time. John

    02 Instrument Panel lights – question

    When I open the door of my 02 the instrument panel lights come on. They stay on until I turn the ignition switch on and at that time they go out. If you turn on my head lights they come back on and the brightness control works. I drove a few C5’s before I bought this one but I can’t remember...

    Front end shaking

    Not all tire shops are equal when it comes to balancing tires. My son turned me on to a small shop where the guy is a real fanatic about balancing tires. The machine they use makes a lot of difference. This shop uses a Hunter GSP9700 roadforce balancer. It actually measures differences in the...

    Post a photo of your C5

    My newly acquired C5. It’s a 2002 Quick Silver Coupe with a mere 10K miles on her. Traded the C4, my wife told me to she was tired of climbing in and out of the C4.

    1st time i knew.....

    I got the bug a long time ago. In 1965 by brother-in-law’s neighbor had a 63 split widow that he wanted to sell. I took it for a ride and I was hocked. Unfortunately my insurance company didn’t share my love for corvettes and they wouldn’t insure it so the deal fell through. After 36 years I...
