Mine is inoperative and no one in the Washington, D.C. area can get the part. As I understand it, Corvette is no longer producing the part.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get my 2000 coupe repaired?

That is definitely a safety issue and there is no excuse for GM to discontinue making or contracting the manufacture of the part. Which part is it, exactly - the EBCM?

Have you contacted Ken Fitchner
kenfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com

or Gene Culley?
gene@gmpartshouse.com

Give them a chance to find it for you.

The part that no seems able to get and that GM seems not to be moving to get or to help make available is, as you suspected, the EBCM.

Thanks much for the suggestions re Ritchner and Culley. I'll be in touch w/them asap.

There was a big Chevy dealer in Gaithersburg that also hosted the local Vette club-I think it was Criswell? Maybe they can help??

Does your EBCM have Active Handling or is it Non Active Handling?

I have different part numbers that are successors for the Non active Handling model (Which mine is).

If you have the active handling feature then call the GM dealership and ask them for all the part numbers that succeed the one on your Vette.

I was able to hunt down a unit for mine from a wrecked Vette, it will take a little effort but you should be able to find one.

If it is active handling you can also speak with www.absfixer.com and see what he can do for your set-up - just get the number off the top of the EBTCM unit.

Thanks,Matt
