What special tool do you need to pull the connectors from the DCM? I'm about to go in my door and want to check and clean all connections.

I'm glad I found this thread. I get all the error codes every time I take a right turn. The fuse for the LDCM would pop all the time so I have left it out for a while. Still get all the codes durring a turn, but now I tend to think that I have a short in there somehow. Going to pull the panel tommorow. I already checked the plug inside the A pillar. Pins and sockets all looked clean and strait.

You can replace the module part cost (~$300) or the relay part cost ($ 1.30 +$5 shipping)
To replace the relay see CF members web site... http://www.ronjpics.com/Corvettestuff.htm#DCM

you can buy the relay at www.digikey.com
part number 255-1239-ND 10A 12VDC
Just replaced the relay for the driver's side door lock. Works great now!

Anyone know if this replacement is going to give a longer service life than the OEM one? Anyone want to guess why the OEM relays go kaput so fast? Cheap component?

Oh yeah, 2 days after I fixed the driver's side my passenger side some locking

Do button lights light up when the headlights are on? My module works fine, but it doesn't light up.
