Kohones Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I just bought my Vette in Dec. Great buy cause I stole it, 2002 with looow miles. The problem? I've got an electrical problem (a short) in the drivers door. The control panel (ya know) where the pw openers, remote mirrors etc are - it remains lit?? Everything else is off & sleepin but this damn arm rest! It's killed my battery, I put a new one in (thats when I noticed the problem). Maxton's Vette tech can't look & fix it until next Thursday (weather permitting. My question is - you folks that have Vettes / anyone had this problem with theirs? if so what is it, how do ya fix & how expensive & detailed is it???

ZYUL8TR Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 C5's have a BCM (body control module). Most electrical problems are related to this. Since yours is most likely still under waranty, let the dealer diagnose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohones Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Thanks C5 Doctor! Weather permitting I have an appt with Maxton's Vette tech next Thursday. Sure glad I bought & hooked up battery tender - that new battery just cost me north of $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yeah definetly let the dealer take care of it if you can. Might be able to get them to pay for the new battery, but doubt it. Welcome to the corvette family. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohones Posted February 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well car now at Maxton's since 9:00 a.m. yesterday. I called & talked to Serv Writer asking for status (he wasn't warm & friendly). Appears they've ordered that electronic control module from Cinncy. Hope they keep her inside tonight??? She doesn't know what cold & snow are. C'mon Springtime!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohones Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Got car back this morning. Seems like "vette tech" had to take drivers door apart, he found wires hangin everywhere like spaghetti??? I don't know what the previous owner was doing, anyway its all back together, memory seats work, interior lights go out / works just like she was originally designed / it was cool to drive it again - shes sleeping now til spring!!!
