Default Need Help / Advice!!!

A few weeks ago I was driving my 02 vert and I rolled my driver's side window down and went to roll it back up. It would not work. In fact, all of the switches on the driverside worked. Then all of my gauges starting going nuts. I got sensor errors from oil, fuel, temp, active handling service needed, traction control service neededm, and it told me to lower engine rev. The voltage, lights, and engine worked fine.

I pulled over and shut the car off and restarted and everything came back up normal. Then a minute later it started again. When I got home, I checked for a loose battery cable and I was able to slightly move the positive cable on the battery. I disconnected the battery to try an reset the computer. Then when I started my vette back up it was OK.

2 Weeks later, I start to roll down the window and all of the controls on the driver's side pad stopped working. I shut off the car and turned it back on and it was OK.

Has anyone had this issue?

Is this a reprogram issue or am I looking at a new CCM?

Hi vette1003 -

Sounds like a classic case of a battery about to poop - C5's act pretty scary when the battery is dying.....

If it's not that, the next thing I would look for is a bad ground.

best regards -

Default Door control problem

Under the driver's door trim,(panel), there is a door control module that does just that,-control everything on the left door. It could be going ****-up, or have a loose connection, and when you slam or close the door, it affects it's operation.

Battery, Ground, Alternator. I would check them in that order with most bets on number 1.

Add the connector plug for the switch panel to that list. Just insert a small flat bladed screwdriver under the rear edge and gently pry up. Lift upwards and rearwards and pull away far enough to check the connector. Reverse order to install. HTH
