Just before hitting the sheets last night, I wiggled the molded rubber which protects the body to door wiring and found intermittant power coming to the door switch pad... Apparently I have a bad wire or faulty connector. I'm hoping it's not an expensive repair like a power module would be...

On our way home today from a family reunion, I went to put the LS window down and found it wasn't working. It was working just a few minutes before it stopped. Using the door pad switches, I found that I was unable to get either window up or down, there was no lock or unlock feature working...

Having sold my C4 a few years ago, and organizing the garage, I came upon parts for the front end. Up for sale, one each: 14046637 It's an NOS, Retainer Front Bumper Facia...this part has been long discontinued and hard to find. It has GM's tags attached. Dealer new condition...never used...

Apples and Oranges Just as we have apples, we also have oranges. The same applies...Just as we have Vipers, we also have Corvettes. Both are to be enjoyed! I know, I come from a family that has had both. Every since watching the filming of two "Route 66" TV episodes in Poland Spring, Maine...

My question gets answered. This morning I phoned our local stone quarry and asked if they could weigh my car. Yes, for $5 was the answer. So, I drove over and drove on the scale. It weighed in at 3300 lbs. After going inside the girl explained that it rounds off in 20 pound increments so it...

Yes, it has me wondering what went wrong. I'm looking at a 476 pound difference. The only thing that is different from stock is the Corsa exhaust (touring), and I took the runcraps off and she sports NITTO NT555's. That would make each tire weigh about 119 pounds less than the stock...

Today I decided to take our 2000 Coupe to a state certified weigh scale to get an accurate curb weight. I filled the tank, drove 1/2 mile to the scale, exited the car, had it weighed, and was given a weigh slip which read 2,770 lbs. I even asked the operator if the weight was correct and he...

I think this car raises the proverbial "RED FLAG". There will be something strange in it's history to generate a VIN by a State or Commonwealth's DMV. Any law enforcement investigator worth his salt knows there are numerous secret and hidden locations on that vehicle to check for the original...

Imho Sorry to hear you had a problem. Some shops just have had little experience on repairing run-flats. Just guessing, but I would think that had the mounted tire and rim been balanced properly, you'd find little "out of balance" problems. The weight difference in the one new MCGARD lugnut...

Since this place is the best of the best, and I've always gotten sound advice, I am hopeful someone can help me again. Last week I replaced the stock GY run-flats (245/45-17 fronts, 275/40-18 rears) with the stock size non runflat Nitto NT555 Extreme Performance tires. I have an alignment...

Corvette and Viper Coming from a family that has one of each, I find that each in it's own right have their merits, their issues, their individualism. I am not here to pick either one apart...they both represent American Muscle. I say this, Dodge was foolish for doing what they did...and with...

Let's go...

Andy, It sounds to me that you may have not crimped a wire hard enough to make the electrical connection, you may have pulled a wire loose, thus not making contact, or the connector(s) might not be tight. I'd have to say it's in the wiring if it had been working. Check all our wires and...

Thanks again! I decided to visit my local Advanced Auto last evening and pick up an EL12. With PA tax it cost just under $14. This morning I decided to tackle the job and found the following: Total time involved: About 30 minutes, start to finish. For our 2000, I had to remove 2-#15 Torx...

Flasher problems Nick, Thanks for the info...looks simple enough and eliminates that PITA dash/ switch removal! :w :thumb :beer
