Electrical issue
Did some searching but couldn't find anything.
Ok ran into some strange electrical issues. About 4 days ago I started getting the dreaded C1214 code with the three basic warnings (service trac, abs, active handling) so I know I need to check those connectors. But today I put the top down to drive to work and about halfway there the radio died and the check gages light came on.
Battery voltage, rpm's, speedometer, HUD, Climate Control, power seats all work. Windows (from the driver side module), power mirrors, locks, essentially all controls from the driver door don't work. The DIC is flashing "reduced engine power" "low fuel" "service vehicle soon" and a few other things. If I turn the car off and back on it goes away but will randomly happen again. I've never had it do this with the windows up, only when I've had the windows down. It shows several history codes that are all U1016 and other U codes (I'll have to get the list from my office tomorrow). When I let the car sit for an hour or so my power windows will work again and everything is fine. I can drive the car all I want with the windows up and just get the C1214 code, but once the windows go down everything goes ape****. Please help!
Does this sound like an issue that could potentially be resolved by cleaning the grounds? I daily drive my corvette in almost all weather.
The only current code is C1214. The History codes (reset about 4 days ago) are:
P1626
U1096
U1016
U1302
U1255
U1040
U1176
U1160
I'm hoping that cleaning all of my connectors will work.
