Junk yard parts Try this place; it's really a Corvette junk yard. I've bought parts from them (mail order) and found them to be reliable both with the parts and advice as to what will fit. http://www.contemporarycorvette.com/ Good Luck

Blower low speed malfunction Those 'electronics' in the air box near the blower are just a couple of air cooled resistors that drop the voltage to reduce blower speed. Yes, they are your problem. Replace them and your other blower speeds should return. Use replacement auto parts - not ordinary...

Low coolant Your experience in operating with the radiator cap off is normal (burping). If your Corvette isn't loosing antifreeze (no puddles underneath and no need to add to keep the levels up), your difficulty is probably in the black high pressure reservoir tank just behind the right front...

Wheels Welcome to a great site. I don't know wheels but there have been several threads regarding 'offset' Use the search tab above and to the right of center to find these threads. There you will find lots of links to knowledgable people. Hope you find it.

buzzer Do you need to readjust the door ajar sensors?

Window lift motor I didn't know there were two different motors for the same year - and you're correct. On-line parts catalogs list both 9 and 12 toothed units. I replaced the window motor in a '95 Blazer and it was one of the biggest pains I ever encountered. Mine failed because the circuit...

Shorts Welcome, this is a great site for help and information. It's normal for the small wire to the starter to read a short to ground since it is the coil part of the solenoid. Current flows through the small wire to the starter then to ground when voltage is supplied via the ingition switch...

Starts then dies DTool mentioned "But recently, I have been experiencing a very nasty situation: if my engine is cold or hot, it starts fine. If it is warm - meaning somewhere in between "just shut off" hot and "been sitting for a few hours" cold - it won't run. It starts and immediately dies...

SYS Light If your new battery is good (slim chance but sometimes even new ones are bad) and has the correct liquid level, check all the connections. Both at the battery at at the 'other' end - grounds too. A loose connection may cause the SYS light to flash. I had an old battery once that would...

Burned CD's If you 'Close the session' when burning a CD, most players will work.

Coolant Temp My '95 LT1 performs exactly the same way. On a really hot day, the second fan will come on in the mid 230's. As nyernga said, running the A/C will cause the primary fan to run constantly and the temp probably won't go over 195-200 on a mild day. Again, on a hot day the secondary...

SYS light Had exactly the same symptom; fun accel = flash of the sys light. New battery = no more sys light.

Radar detectors One of my kids is a cop and runs a lot of radar. Save your money and obey the speed limit. If you're over by 8+ and he wants you, he's got you. A radar detector on the dash will upgrade a warning to a real ticket. One of his 'buddies' keeps trying to buy 'new technology' and the...

faulty light "The problem we're having is that when we put push the brake pedal and put a load on the circuit the voltage drops to 2 or below." That almost certainly indicates that the ground is bad, whereever it is. The problem isn't so much that the source is bad but that the drain (ground)...

voltage and resistance but no light Check for the ground side of the circuit (bulb socket case). It may not be making contact to ground or 'return.'

Third gear slip Unfortunately, slipping 3rd gear (or total loss of 3rd) is a common auto trans failure. One cold night, all of a sudden my trans worked flawlessly in 1st and 2nd but totally nothing in 3rd. Drove 35 miles home in 2nd. My repair bill was $1600 but it runs much faster now. I'd...

Hesitant horn Surely check the voltage. But it's usually a corroded ground connection at the frame. Find it, unscrew it, clean it up with sand paper, etc. If the 'star' washer is missing, get a new one at a hardware store. Maybe a new screw too. On my '95 the ground for each horn is a separate...

VATS Look up VATS on the search tab above. There were some really good threads about 1 or 2 years ago, even pictures and schematics. The VATS in an OBD I car will let you try 3 times to start the car (assuming the key is bad). Then the car won't start for about 6 minutes. Mine had a dirty...

Drift You've mentioned a couple of times that some of the 'fixes' were only temporary (including new tires). Is is possible that each temporary fix was accompanied by the car being on a lift? If so, what's moving to eliminate the drift (when lifting) then settling back in about 10 miles of...

Drift Have you changed tires during the years of your 'drift' problem? Some tires will display a different 'lead' (as in 'our leader') and will cause more drag or pull (if on the drive axle) depending on whether the car is slowing or speeding up. Some tires cause drag just like slight brake...
