From what I understand, the project looks more complicated than what it really is. But if you don't feel comfortable taking your dash apart, best to leave it to a trained technician.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with your area at all. If you have a Corvette Club local to you, you could always check with some of their members on who they would recommend to work on your car.

What is your problem exactly. If you are going to go into the IPC you need to have the parts most likely to be the cause or you could be down for a while.

dic buttons not working
the scan revealed bad dic button #4. He said that it could be jammed but it wouldn't be smart to take apart The ipc unless you had the part. good luck with that. salvage seems to be the way to go. What do u think.

Suggest you get another DIC switch from Marc at VetteNuts.com
These guys could do the work, they are professionals and know the C5. They could do this in about 2 hours.
Above and Beyond Auto
In Summerville on 17 A about 2 miles from I-26
Martin and Ricky
843-608-8759
PS: make sure they verify all the button lights are good before they finish. If not that would be the time to swap some from the old switch. There is one bulb for every two buttons.
