vette won't start
Here's something my wife said GM must have programed into the ignition computer, whenever it rains or snows, the car won't start, kind of a safety feature. Anybody else have that problem?

Need more information:
Do the lights work?
How long had the Vette been idle since last started?
Do you have a 'battery tender' active while the Vette is idle?

I would check the "Grounds" on the inside of the engine compartment first. They might be dirty and when it's wet up, losing contact. I think there are 4 of them under the hood. If you do a search on the Forum you will find some pretty good pictures. good luck!

You know - all of these precious cars have been rained on during their life. Heck they spray them down in the assembly plant, then they sit outside in the weather before they go on an open carrier to be delivered to the dealer where they sit in the rain and have demo rides taken ... before you pretend that they have never been driven in the rain.
