    Question: 96 Coupe AirBag Light / DERM Issue Help Needed

    Progress! First, a big "THANK YOU!" to gmjunkie for stopping by. He's a good guy, and I am very grateful for his time and assistance. Now I can say I've met someone on CAC in person! Here's what we found: The error code from the SIR is 42 - Energy Reserve Voltage Too Low. It is a historical...

    Question: 96 Coupe AirBag Light / DERM Issue Help Needed

    That would be great! Thanks for your offer of help. I don't have the diagnostic resources to solve this issue unless the on-board stuff can solve it. Having the real-deal diagnostics would definitely guide me in the right direction and save money. I'm about a mile or so off of I-26 at exit...

    Progress! I installed the two fuses, and here's what I found. When I turned the ignition on, and when I started the car, the airbag light flashed six times each. It would then pause for about three seconds, and then turn back on and stay on. IIRC, it's supposed to flash seven times each time...

    Question: 96 Coupe AirBag Light / DERM Issue Help Needed

    Just changed plugs/wires on 1998 Coupe - Good End Result

    Hi everyone, I thought I'd share my experience, and a few tips, about changing out my spark plugs and wires on my 1998 Coupe. I have changed out a handful of plugs on cars over the past 20 years, and this was the 2nd most difficult. My 1984 Camaro Z28 was the most difficult - seems that I had...

    Hi everyone, I just bought my first (and probably only) Corvette in September 2009. It's a 1998 C5, Arctic White with the Firethorn Red interior. I bought it at, of all places, a Ford dealership - O.C. Welch Ford in Beaufort, SC - after seeing it advertised online. It had 106,000 on the...
