Dang guys. I feel your pain. Something similar happened to me. Except my car would still run even with all the error messages.

Since your waiting on a TAC you could at least look at the driver door wiring harness for chaffing. It worked for me.

Turn on the headlights. Motors should both go up and the lights should be bright. Turn lights off. You just checked the main 12 VDC battery buss.

Read this post. In the post, I discuss reading the voltages on specific fuses that are powered by the Ignition Switch "HOT IN RUN AND START" feed. Turn the ignition to ON and check each of those fuses to ground. On top of each fuse are TWO small slots. Those are TEST POINTS.

- C5 ignition Switch repair - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...ch-repair.html


Each fuse should read full battery voltage. If you have a LOW reading, you need to clean or replace the ignition switch.

In the passengers foot well, you have a fuse box and the BCM. To the LEFT of the BCM are two thin Gray connectors. Those are STAR 1 and STAR 2 serial data buss connectors. One of the connectors has FOUR wires. The top of the connector comes off and theres a shorting strip in the top that connects all the wires together. Remove the top and see if that changes any symptoms. That removed the door modules and the seat module from the serial buss.

Give all that a look see and tell us what you discover...

Bill

I do not have a TAC to compare but if I remember correctly, they have numbers on the part that faces the PCM. Call Gene Culley www.gmpartshouse.com and he may be able to tell you compatibility between C5 years..

I found one today that has the exact number that we need (1257...3). I bought it for $200 and it was from C5 2004. We will see what happens when it comes Monday.
Thanks,
Tony

Computer... hmmm not sure. It looked like it was in good condition and I didn't find any traces of water damage on it. Anyway, if there is something wrong with the computer, I will need those guys to synchronize is with the TAC and the rest of the car. I will try to get the car to the dealer one of these days and hook it up on Tech 2. We will see what will happen. You will be updated

I've had a problem before with a dying battery and it's not even close to this. Anyway, anytime I do something around the car and the doors are open or I give contact with the key, my battery is connected to the charger and the power is never less than 12 volts. But thanks anyway. Is it possible for something to be wrong with some of the sensors? Any sensor? Maybe the engine, transmition...

THANKS MAN

Try this. OPEN BOTH DOORS! Pop out the accordion tubes. Fish the wiring harnesses out of the door pillar hole.. Disconnect the connectors and see if any of the female pins are bent, burnt deformed...
