Compyelc4, you've been a member of this forum for 16 years, and you haven't learned that the '84-'87 headlight motors don't have those pesky "nylon rollers"???? :mad

You've got something put together wrong. Here's a link to the disassembly procedure for the early ("84-'87) headlight motors. His problem was different, but maybe this link will help: '84 - '87 Headlight Gear Replacement - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

What is the residual current drain in your motor home? The residual drain in my '84 Corvette is 13 mA (0.013 A). I can park it for a month, and it will start right up. Why do I need a battery tender? And, by the way, I really don't think an expensive Odyssey battery would be any better. And a...

I too, have an '84, and we need to remember that these cars are 34 years old! They are a very nice car, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of enjoyment from yours. I've had mine for 14 years, but it only has 240,000 miles on it. Did the dealer replace all fluids, including the trans and the...

I have sent you a PM. :w

I can't help you if you don't understand my instructions. I'll let someone else try to help you. Good luck.

Now you have a dilemma: Who should you believe? Here's a simple test for you: Two components . . . a battery and a light bulb. Connect the light bulb to the battery and see that the light bulb works. Disconnect one terminal of the light bulb, and the light bulb goes out. Measure the...

This is not weird, it is normal operation. There are several circuits in our Corvette's that continue to draw power from the battery after the ignition is turned off (radio, ECM). Your normal current drain should be less than 50 mA (0.05 A) (my '84's is 13 mA). Are you sure there are no...

Another way to get your headlight door to stop in the middle position, so you can replace a headlight, is to turn on your headlights, so the doors open all the way, then push the headlight switch in (off) for just a short time, then quickly pull the switch out to the parking light position...

Since the car has been parked for two years or so, you need to get fresh fuel to the injectors. LLC5 has a good idea. You have good noid lights, so your ignition and f.i. circuits are good. The engine runs with starting fluid, so the only thing left is no fuel from your injectors! Your...

I was there to help provide cover for you guys. 1967-'69. Thank you for your service! USS Enterprise

I'd say that's a confirmation that you have dirty limit switches. Here's a link to the repair procedure. This link shows the problem he was having as bad gears. I don't think you have bad gears, but watch for the mention of the limit switches! The motor armature shaft needs to be lubed...

The pushrod between the power booster and the m/c may be a little bit too long. This pushrod is adjustable. If it is too long, the piston in the m/c will block the vent port, which is supposed to relieve the pressure in the brake lines as the fluid warms up. The fluid will expand as it gets...

It's most likely to be a dirty limit switch inside the motor. Does the headlight motor work if you give the headlight door a swift thump with the bottom of a closed fist? It's pretty easy to fix if you have any mechanical aptitude. Clean the switches, then lube the gears and the motor...

A good connection at the battery is very important. Since you don't want to replace the battery, installing a Heli-Coil at the bad thread is probably your best option. Your alternator won't work right with a bad ground at the battery, and this might cause voltage "spikes" which could cause...

As you probably know by the info in my heading, I also have an '84. What's the problem with your doors? Replacing a door looks like a pretty major project! :w

It's always a good idea to list the year of your C4 when you post. There are a lot of connectors inside the door, and the factory assembly process dictates that the car be easy to assemble, so you can be sure no splicing would be required to replace a door. I'm sure those connectors won't be...

Since your adhesive is failing, do the job right by removing the acrylic top from the frame and replacing all of the old adhesive! Here's a link that should help you. I re-bonded my acrylic roof about 10 years ago, and it's fine! Targa Top Rebuild need advice - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet...

Sorry, but you're wrong. :w

When you press the horn button, do you hear the relay click? If it clicks, check to see if you're getting 12 v. to the horns. If you can't hear a click, it's more likely to be a problem with your horn button. Pry it off carefully from the center of your steering wheel, then carefully...
