HELP!!!The C5 is acting up
Well long story short ,today after a corvette lunch run with the club the vette stoped working properly.As we were driveing the door agar sound went off ,followed by numerous other noises . Then the traction control showed up as needing seviced ,the tire sensors and the fact that I have to brake before shifting . I pull over and turn the key to off ,the rear hatch goes up and keeps clicking open ????. If that was not wierd enough when I went to start the car again it would not so I waved down a fellow vette member that was heading home after the ralley and we tried a hole load of things to get the car to work . It finally started and the check engin light ,tire sensor service ,and traction control service indicators went off again. The noises are still going off at this point but not the rear hatch.We take it slowly and drive home .The windows did not work thought.Now I am here asking what to do or what went wrong ????????

Did you run the AC all day??? If so, check the passengers foot well for water. Look carefully around the BCM (silver box) and then check below the carpet under the passengers seat (thats where any condensation over flow will collect if any water spilled out of the HCAC Air Box.)
If the passengers foot well area is dry,,

To check your codes push Option, Fuel, Fuel, Fuel, Fuel until it says codes then push Option a few times to enter your codes. You can use option and fuel to navigate through your codes. Just play with those buttons... I do not look at my buttons anymore when I check for codes so I am not exactly sure which ones scroll up and down but I know the exit push e/m and to reset them hold reset.

[QUOTE=Markham;1570287742]Take a look at the main computer and connections in the passengers fender. I had the same issue and it was corroded connectors.
I hope this help
I have a feeling this is what the problem is
