Electrical issues
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I bought my Vette from a member of this forum, BlackMagiC5. He is a great guy and I got a great deal. Its a 2000 Vette, M6, Z51, black/black, Corsa Exhaust, Varam intake. Anyway it has a few electrical issues I was hoping I could get some assistance here.
Firstly the turn signals like to cease functioning every once in a while, if i smack the hazard button around a few times they start up again, I bought a new switch for that, havent put it in yet, how hard is it to get in there?
Secondly the reverse lights have ceased to function also. Bought a new switch to that, I am also going to install a Hurst, is that switch accessable near the shifter or do I have to get under the car, is it hard?
Finally... not electrical, but the ebrake doesnt work either, are the cables adjustable? How hard are they to get to? I havent gotten under the car yet.
Overall I love this car, it blows away all my Trans Ams etc that Ive owned. Thanks for your help!

The hazzard button is easy to get to when you remove the center consol, and reach up and push the botton out from the back.
This would also be the time to swap your shifter.
As for changing the reverse switch from inside the car? I'm not
sure about that.
Lastly, the E-brake is pretty bad, they don't stay in adjustment for long, and in order to adjust them you must remove the rear brake rotors. So, just get used to not having a workign e-brake.
