Default Special C5 electrical help from C5Diag.......

Like many forum members, I've had electrical issues with my C5. Also, like many C5 owners, I've gotten responses to help me from C5Diag. For those who don't know, he lives in an area that Hurricane Ian devastated. When I jumped online yesterday, I logged on to CF, and here's C5Diag helping someone out. I'd like to give a HUGE shout out to him. Here's a guy offering his help, when he probably needs it more than the person he's helping. Awesome forum member! I'd like to say thank you to him for making this forum such a great place!!!

Gentlemen, thanks for your concern !!…we got slammed pretty good down here in the Cape as you can see below by how close we were to the Hurricane eye wall…other than pool birdcage gone, roof damage, and a palm tree down it is nothing compared to what Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel received !!

Glad to hear you are ok. I see Englewood on that map as well. I have a good friend (c6 Corvette owner) that lives there and his neighborhood suffered heavy damage as well but he was lucky and lost a palm tree and some other more minor damage. My thought are with all of you in FLA. And yes, even though I am a rare contributor because I don't know enough, I have learned a lot from D5 Diag and appreciate folks like him that are there to help us in this hobby!
So thank you sir, and very happy that you are ok

Glad your safe.
I got lucky. I'm near Ocala. It was heading our way by all the models they had,then turned almost dead east. Hope your area recovers quickly.

That is a real benefit of the forum - members who willingly share their expertise to help other members.

Good to hear C5 Diag is OK after the hurricane.
