more grounds
Bill, Page 8-374 in the service manual shows the grounds general location. The interior ones are buried and I gave up trying to find them. One thing I found is #3 & #4 have a little black box where a bunch of wires come together. Inside that box it's possible there are some bad...
Getting Back
dadaroo, Thought I'd get back to you and those that were such a tremendous help to me. There's been no signs of any stalling or low voltage issues. The drivers seat now always goes to where it was programmed to and I would venture to say that there is a noticeable difference in...
Gnd 1&4
gmjunkie,
To be honest with you gmjunkie, I gave up trying to get to the grounds for #'s 1&4. I know, I know, I should check them all but I don't have a good enough excuse other than I'm not up to tearing out those vinyl pieces behind the seat and under the hatch at the moment...
3 codes
dadaroo,
My C-5 has been running fine the last few days. No signs of low voltage or stalling. Whew, glad of that. I have come up with three codes though. U1096H,U1064H and U1016H. All appear to be communication issues. I'll have to keep digging around under panels and carpets to get...
#2
gmjunkie,
Curiously I found nothing connected to the #2 ground post and see no dangling wires in the vicinity. I must say it's best to be very cautious with these interior pieces, as age has made some of these pieces brittle and weak.
I've had another successful day of running errands...
More grounds
gmjunkie, I'll take a closer look at all my grounds tomorrow. You know, this almost falls into a annual preventive maintenance category. It's surprising how such a little bit of corrosion can create such havoc with todays sensitive automobiles, well with corvettes anyway. Time...
23 total DTC's
gmjunkie
Per yours and dadaroo's professional insight and recommendation I believe we found the source of my problem. That ground wire coming off the battery where it's connected to the frame had some definite scale built up under the terminal, making for a poor connection. Also...
Lmc5
dadaroo, I didn't replace the LMC5 myself. My new mechanic did, so I can't say the CL relay was disconnected. I'm very confident he followed the instructions that came with the kit. I had him do a load test and check the true voltage on the battery yesterday. He told me the battery was...
Lmc5
dadaroo, I have installed LMC5 about 3 weeks ago and I still have had stalling issues. Tomorrow I'm gonna take care of a potential bad ground just below the battery where years ago the original battery leaked it's acid. Also, even though today my mechanic checked and found only one code...
low volts
Antz81, Thanks for the heads up on that. That leaking battery happened years ago, so I'm sure it's been doing some damage up stream from the terminals.
codes
gmjunkie, as I dropped my C-5 off this morning I asked my mechanic to be sure and pull the codes just as you recommended. We'll see what's there. The last time he did this the only codes that were there were beyond 50 starts and my car had stalled numerous times since then. Hmmmmmm. Thank's.
Column lock
dadaroo, My steering wheel turns freely and does not lock when I remove the key. I replaced the ignition column lock a day or so ago, so I can't say if that helped matters yet or not. I'm taking my C-5 in for some repair today and I'll have him pull the codes with his Snap-on brand...
ground wire
gmjunkie I found three ground wires right below the battery where the original battery had leaked it's acid years ago that need repair. Even with a thorough cleaning of that entire area it still has done some damage. I'll take care of that this weekend after I get my C-5 out of the...
Signature
Well I'll tell you Toms007, what was I supposed to think after 3 attempts with no success to leave a reply during the day then I look at the last post on this thread and I read what gmjunkie writes? I'm not real savvy on signatures or other internet tricks of the trade sort of speak...
codes
dadaroo,
First thing I don't know what a TD is. The voltage is 11.7 on a cold morning and is 14.2 before putting it in gear. The battery is a maybe 1 year old Alliance. My new mechanic pulled the codes with a Snap-on brand analyzer and there were no codes relating to the stalling...
