Default The BEEP is GONE!

On my '04 coupe the "beep" that is present when scrolling through the gauges menu is GONE! It still beeps if I go through the config option BUT in all other modes it is gone.

Is it even worth going to the dealer for this? :*****

If you take a careful look at the button there is not enough room to have Gauges on the button. The top buttom are not as wide as the bottom buttons. So they used another variation of the spelling.

Technically, either one is the correct spelling of the word. Look it up . . .

As long as the menu still works, I would stay away from the dealer. Probably would just mess things up more.

there was a recall for that...

Make: CHEVROLET
Model: CORVETTE
Year: 1999
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 04V060000
Recall Date : JUL 22, 2004

Component: OTHER:INSTRUMENTATION:BUTTONS

Potential Number Of Units Affected: 126624

Summary:
CERTAIN CUSTOMERS MAY BECOME CONFUSED OR DISORIENTED WHEN LOOKING FOR THE GAUGES BUTTON (SPELLED "GAGES") ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CONSOLE (DIC). THE RESULTING DISTRACTION CREATED BY OWNERS PLAYING WITH THEIR DIC WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE MIGHT CREATE A TRAFFIC HAZARD.

Remedy:
TIGHTEN LOOSE NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL. INFORM CUSTOMER NOT TO PLAY WITH HIS/HER DIC IN TRAFFIC.

IMO, yes. Have it fixed under warranty. Good luck with the repairs.
