One wire brush applied liberally to the positive battery terminal seems to have resolved the issue.... for now! :)

I checked what I found around the battery, and the ones on the frame up near the horns... where else are they located? How much dismantling or jacking will i need to do? Thanks!

So today I go to leave work, get in my car ('96), turn it on and everything is normal. As soon as I turn the key to start the engine the whole thing dies. Complete power loss. It's like someone cut the battery wire at just that moment. I had it happen to me a few weeks ago, but just...

It's a '96 LT1 with 72k miles... Not quite as nice as what you've got there :)

SUMMER IS HERE!!! Well, not technically, but when it hits 80 in the north west, we call it summer... So my fellow vette owning coworkers and I got together from some pics. The white one is mine :)

I bought a '96 coupe a few weeks ago and I'm already having problems... The other day I drove home and parked it. The next morning the engine would crank but wouldn't fire up. There was no indication that it was having problems performance-wise, but the SES light had come on solid and stayed...

Hello everyone, I recently picked up a '96 vette and had a question... When I first got it there was a cracked connecter from the alternator which was keeping the battery from charging. I believe this was the cause of the "sys" light and other electrical oddities based on what I've read...
