Battery Install Well new battery finally showed full charge. Swapped out old one, it was leaking a little. What's up with that large coffee cup size "hole" under the battery? Is that for smuggling or what? Had to clean that up with some baking soda. New battery is in and "seems" to be...

Yeah ain't that the truth. Right now I live in NE Ohio and do not drive the car in the winter! But we are moving to Florida where the temperatures are even harder on batteries.

Re: 78PS I believe the 78 PS is a side post battery. In 2004 Chevy went to a top post battery for the corvettes. I couldn't use a 78PS. Glad it worked well for you, I hope my replacement goes as e-z. My new 86 PS is still on my "Battery Tender" charger being charged since about 10 am...

Battery Info Thanks much for the quick reply. Battery is on charger now, in the old days I would have just put it in the car and took off. The old battery is an Advanced Auto Parts battery that I did just that with 4 years ago(before I was a member of this forum). It was rated at 640 CCA but...

I thought I would post this as a different thread, it doesn't seem to be a security code issue. Just when you thought you were safe! Security light came on again on the way home from the golf course. Had the P1631 code again, reset that and car seemed okay. Went out that evening, car would...

Security Issue or Battery Just when you thought you were safe! Security light came on again on the way home from the golf course. Had the P1631 code again, reset that and car seemed okay. Went out that evening, car would not start. No codes, seemed like low battery. Charged it over night...

Security Issue Well it must have been something like a cleaning agent the detail wizard used. The car is working properly now. I have had it out a couple times, no codes, no issues. I didn't intend for this to turn into an Armor All thread.

Ok here's what's goin' on: I had my 04 convertible detailed yesterday, when I picked it up the detail guy made a weird comment. He said the vette wouldn't start so he had to turn off the radio and then it was ok. I got into the car and it started fine. I pulled out of his place and noticed...

Battery Info Thanks for the information. It appears as though I will be getting an AC Delco battery soon. Hard to believe it is soooooo sensitive to CCA and RC, but I guess when you think about it, it is just a very complex computer running the car. Thanks again!!

I have a 2004 convertible. Had a couple things happen in the past month or so. I was getting the "security" light, looked up the code and it was possibly the key. Used the spare key and have not received the security light again...yet. Also the radio preset channels scrambled...twice. It...

Waterfall Cover Thanks. It is the waterfall cover. Are these hydraulic struts like on the trunk? Unhooked? How could they become unhooked?

I have a 2004 convertible. The storage compartment cover won't stay when putting the top up/down. Nothing in the OM about any adjustments. Are there any adjustments for this? Not a real threat just a PITA!

Appreciate the input. The wet area was not in the footwell area, only under the seat and behind it. I have located the udders on the drivers side and will be "milking" them of debris later today.

Went to Corvettes at Carlisle last weekend. On the way home drove the rements of Irene. When I got home and cleaned up the car the carpeting under the drivers seat was WET. Any ideas? I have read about the "udders" might it have something to do with that?

Bought my 04 Comem convert in July with 12400 miles for 27K
