Vette Battery / Charging Troubles
I had to get the vette out the other day to enjoy some of the 60 degree weather up here in the northeast. The battery was dead, that suprised me, as I last drove her in January, and the battery is less then one year old. After charging it for an hour or so, she kicked off. I drove it for an hour or so, and the volt guage was still reading 13.5 plus... Any guess as to what my problem could be?
Thanks and Think warm thoughts!

Had a similar problem with my 98(low volt reading)....traced it down to the wire that goes from the alt. to the starter...removed the wires from the starter and cleaned them up...no poblems since.
