I have the dreaded C1214 H C error code on the TCS in the DIC. I think I have read all previous post regarding this code and believe I have tried all remedies EXCEPT to replace the failed unit. I have 2 questions; 1. How do you remove the electrical connection at the front of the unit? It...

Sorry I don't know how to check the relay. Put out a post asking for help and you'll get it. Or reach out to Hib Halverson, VetteFan87, or GM???? it's GM something, I just don't remember right now, but all three of them are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I haven't checked email in a few days. My problem was just as you described with the main fan and by replacing all of my fuses it fixed the problem. Not sure what the problem was because all of the fuses were good, but I had tried everything else and the...

Merry Christmas (but to who?) The car left on a trailer today. I donated it to charity. I was ready to install a new motor or rebuild the original (depending on my mood and day of the week), but the wife said she would rather I get rid of it and buy another one that didn't need as much...

Well it looks like I'm going with a rebuild. So that opens a whole new question as to hDo I change the ignition system? Go crazy and build a 383 stroker or just do?????? Reflash the prom or stay stock? Can you tell I have no clue what I'm doing, but I am excited and I am reading like crazy...

My minimal research and the input I've received so far indicates that if you do the job properly you have as much $ if not more $ in a rebuild than you would have in a new crate engine. Then there is the down time, it's my daily driver. But with that said, it is an option depending on the...

Fixed Fixed this issue last week and the engine blew this weekend.:ugh See my earlier post from today seeking advice and input on doing an engine swap. The hits just keep on coming.

The engine in my daily driver 86 Coupe just went kaput:cry. I live in the Dallas area and we have emission testing. It has an AT. I'm not a purist (but I will keep the dead engine in case I ever get rid of the Vette and the buyer is a purist) so I don't necessarily want or need to put an...

Does anyone know if a Bose system from a 2004 C5 will fit in a 1986 C4? The head unit is the big question, will if fit into the same dash opening as the Bose head unit in the C4 without any modifications? ;shrug I'm sure some fabricating will be required for the speakers and...

I went ahead and "tore" into the dash controls for the ECC tonight. Amazingly simple. Gave everything a good cleaning and/or dusting and a dab of dielectric grease on the pins for all connections prior to reassembly. And what do you know all buttons and lights now work as they should. I must...

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. Yeah I've read several of the C68 post on CAC and have found a "guide" on how to troubleshoot, clean, and repair the ECC. It's actually on my punchlist to do right after replacing the heater core. Which thankfully doesn't look like I'll have to do...

I did as you suggested and removed the module and discovered that it's definitely a "door" issue. So I got lucky on not having to change the heater core, but now I have to figure out how to access the door and fix it. Oh well I didn't have any thing planned for the evening except handing out...

You know a few weeks after I got the Vette I provided my wife the info for odering the factory manuals and told her I "needed" them. And then I forgot about it. So yesterday when this problem arised I went "huh I wonder where my manuals are the wife ordered for me?" So I asked the wife and...

I have a piece similar to the one in the picture and it appears to be working properly.

Thanks for pointing me to a starting place for diagnosis. I was totally clueless. I'll let you know what I find.
