    Help! reduced engine power

    Let me say up front, I'm not a mechanic. Take this for what it's worth. Have you checked your brake system? Here's why I ask. A couple of months ago I got the service traction control light and code as well. Right after that the brake light came on. About 10 minutes later the DIC displayed...

    Squeal/squeak from front of car...

    Mine squeals as well. Just had new brakes put on last week and it still squeals. I read in Corvette mag that you can run up to about 50mph and rapidly back to 0, repeat that a couple of times back to back. It is supposed to heat them up and help stop the squealing. It was written by on of...

    Question: Run flat or just flat tires?

    Non-Run Flat for me I just put new tires on my 2000. It was a big decision for me. But, I went with the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 (non run flat). I really like the ride and handling. Guy at the shop has a 2009 C6 and had the same thing on his. 15k miles and they look great...

    sunvisor vanity mirror cover warp causes lighst to stay on

    I had the same problem on mine. I "warped" it back and haven't had any issues. But I did wonder about the battery. I had a car about 10 years ago that didn't shut off the trunk light when you closed the trunk. Killed the battery over night. Had to dang near tear the whole car apart to find...

    Product Review: C5 LED Tail Light Conversion Kit

    Here's a couple of shots, first with just headlights, second with brakes on. The lefts have the new lights, rights don't. I'm not a photographer or an internet specialist. Please forgive if not proper format or what not.

    Product Review: C5 LED Tail Light Conversion Kit

    I was already saving up to buy these when Hib put in his great review. I did buy them and put them in. Like he said, piece of cake. 15-20 minutes. As for the rapid blink, I'd have to say "yes and no" for me. The ones on the right side blink at a normal rate. The ones on the left usually...

    Np. Just passing on the help that this site has given me. Not very often that I'll get to chime in.

    01 front headlights

    There are many, many posts on this board about this problem. You are seeing a very common problem. The gear in the head light motor is going bad. There is are several very good write ups on fixing it. I ordered the parts and fixed mine on my own, and I'm not much of a mechanic. So, the...

    Help! Keyless Entry

    No, that's not what I meant. I was just saying you would have to sync any remote you have, not just a single one. If all you have is one, then that's all you would sync. I had two remotes, one went bad, replaced the battery, resync'd it, it would last for a day or so, and then go bad again...

    Just a quick 'thank you' to the board

    I ordered the pair to fix both sides. Just did the one that was grinding first. Will replace the driver's side soon. I work on the road and don't carry the tools with me.

    Help! Keyless Entry

    Syncing is a breeze, but you will need to sync both remotes, not just the new one. Takes half a minute or so. Details are in the owners manual. I had to do that a couple of months ago.

    Just a quick 'thank you' to the board

    Like happens on so many of the C5's, one of my headlights started doing the grind when closing. After reviewing lots of threads on this board on the subject, I ordered a metal replacement kit from Rodney Dirkman. Great service, just like y'all said, and with his instructions and those on the...

    Question: Looking to buy a C5

    I like a 6sp but mine is a daily driver. Many days are in traffic. Like Toms01 said, that can be bad. As for the auto shifting too soon, I solved that problem by just putting it in 2nd when I want a little more sporty feel. That lets the Rs get up into the fun range and you really don't need...

    Help! 99 Keyfob Issue

    There have been several of us having FOB problems recently. There is a section in the user manual for how to train them. (It does not have to be done by the dealer) I had to replace my FOB with a new one. Apparently it went bad. First time I've had that happend. But it was doing the exact...

    FS: Keyless Entry Fobs

    Real simple process. From the owners manual: To match transmitters to your vehicle: 1. Turn the ignition key to ON. 2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the RESET button. 3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times until the blank page is...

    Key fob issue

    Yep. New FOB arrived last night and it has the same part number as the other two. No other number stamped in the back. I reckon when you go through the process of learning the FOBs it "remembers" which one you set first as #1 and the second one as #2. The stamped number must just be for...

    Alarm on 2000 vette. Need help.

    Absolutely. Try the easy fix first. $4 battery and 5 minutes cleaning up the old unit might fix some FOBs. Didn't work for me. But, it's nice to know that the new FOB works if that doesn't. When I relearned the remotes, I made the bad one #3. It worked for a while and then went bad again...

    Alarm on 2000 vette. Need help.

    New remote was in the mail when I got home. I followed the instructions and relearned the new remote and the wife's remote. Both are working fine. Now this is day one so I don't know how long it will hold, but I'm betting that the FOB just went bad. Like I said before, the wife's was working...

    Alarm on 2000 vette. Need help.

    I've been having this exact same issue on my 2000 for about a month. I've posted some stuff on the board here about it. I replaced the battery but that didn't fix it. No codes have been popped. I never got an answer so I ordered a new remote. Still waiting on it to arrive. I do have two...
