Default My Vette locked up!
I unpluged my trac/activehandle button by the arm rest and my car locked up. The DIC says reduced power, and the car will not start. All I did was unplug the little button that turns off Active handling! What can I do? They told me at the dealer that they have to hook it up to the computer and clear the code. And they can't get to it till next week. Is there somthing I can do?
Thanks

Plug the button back in. Then try this procedure for clearing any codes you may have set. https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=25&TopicID=1

I would disconnect the battery, then plug it back in. Wait an hour or so, then reconnect the battery. Check DIC for current codes. Good Luck

Why would you wait for an hour or so? What takes an hour? Thanks.

Reseting the codes didn't help. Any other ideas?
