Default List of c5 repair post that everyone should have!

Everytime I answer someones post, I have to dig thru the archives or search my recient post to find the "POST" that I need to send the person to so that they can fix their problem. So,,,,I spent some time and I wrote down all the SERIOUSLY HELPFUL toutorial post that I could think of and put them all in ONE place.

So, here you go. :

Default ignition switch

Hey Bill I did read your write up on the ignition switch rebuild a while back and damn if I didnt need to do mine. The write up was great and it helped A ton , so thanks for the write up and I am sure that there are many more CF members that will say the same.

Updated and bumped!

ENGINE IS NOT DOING VERY WELL. I may have to pull it. Not looking forward to it and neither is my bank account!

pewter99

Probably not. I can look thru your sticky and give you a list of ones to up-date. I created a couple of them not too long ago. Im about to make another C5 ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR 101 post.

I want it to be an all in one post to help the electrical/electronic challenged Corvette owners into troubleshooting & fixing their C5's
