When I got my 1996 convert. it was missing a fuel reset button. Can it be replaced seperately or do I need to get a whole new unit? Any idea where I might get one?

You might try Vette-to-Vette? (recycler) ...see what they say.

My 94 vert that I just bought is missing the same button. Must be a common problem. Let us know if and where you find one.

It's a common problem. If you can find the button, you got lucky. Usually you'll need to buy the whole unit, just to get a replacement button. Try E-Bay, that is where I just sold what you are looking for. I searched so long for one, I ended up with an extra, and just recently sold it. Go figure . . . Day late, dollar short, lifes story. Good luck, you'll fine one, just be patient.

Default missing button

That @#%&#$ button was the only thing wrong with my '95 when I bought it. Junk yard DIC for $65 fixed the problem. Tried to figure out how to swap the button but never did see how to remove it. Swapped out the whole DIC.
Expensive button but it looks nicer now (so says the Wife). She's happy -- I'm happy.

Looks like I'm taking the same route. Vette to vette has the whole unit.
Thanks
