Re: it's a miracle,it fixed itself! (corv58)
This fits into the catagory:
When something is not working - you take it apart to find out - find nothing wrong -
then put it all back together to find it is now fixed !!!
You're lucky ... you didn't have to do the dissasembly and reassembly.
What year vette ? Electric tach - I assume.
:seeya

My tailights went out one time so I started kicking under the dash and boom they were back on. The kicking only helped for another week until they finaly went out for good! :lol:

Re: it's a miracle,it fixed itself! (03ki11er)
My '77's headlights only come on after I flash them to high beams. Once their on, they stay on. The problem started a few months ago. Since I have a work-around, I haven't taken time to sort it out. My guess is a corroded connection. Other thoughts?

Re: it's a miracle,it fixed itself! (lowvette)
could be corrosion, maybe bad switch..start with the connections first, see if the switch gets real hot, i seem to remember a post not to long ago about that same problem. cheers.....jim :cheers:
