Having some issues with my C5
Like the title says I'm having a few issues with my car. Of course I get the occasional misfire code due to my cam and it being untuned. The codes I don't understand are the following
B0333
B0361
B2606
B0441
I know the first 2 are AC but I dont know what they refer to. the third one is for A6 which i'm sure is the VATS system and I'm clueless on the last one. I'd really like to get the AC issue fixed due to me living in south texas and its hot as hell down here. I've already purchased a new HVAC control since my display isnt working.
I've also noticed that my wipers dont work and my hazard lights dont work in the back yet the turn signals do.
All help is appreciated.

B0333 indicates a problem with the outside air temp located on the passenger side front of the car.
B0361 indicates a problem with the Left Hand actuator blend door.
B2606 indicates a problem with the Seat vertical position sensor output to the seat control module
B0441 indicates a issue with left hand actuator position signal in the HVAC systerm
None of the codes listed should affect engine performance

I read that B0361 and B0441 are issues with the actuator on the drivers side next to the radio so I followed all procedures to correct that issue. I believe I have that issue fixed (codes not coming back).
I greatly appreciate the help. I'm sure these are these are dumb questions. I'm just really new to the Corvette world.

Ok so I found the Sensor and made sure it was plugged in. I pulled it apart and the connections are rusted. I cleaned them with Electronics parts cleaner I have for Circut boards and Stuff at work then put it back together. It still doesnt work so I'm guessing I need a new sensor.

I recently replaced the ambient air temperature sensor on my 1999 C5 coupe. It is very easy. The part number is 10248414 (list $11.94). I purchased the part at my local Chevrolet dealer. The part bag was labeled, "Made in China (mainland)". I'm not sure if this part qualifies my Corvette to remain "An American Revolution!"
Raise the right front of the car (use a jack stand......). Remove the black plastic close-out panel under the car on the passenger side. It is attached with 5 or 6 small hex-head screws.
Use a small flat blade to push the "plastic nail" fastener up from underneath the car - the nail holds the sensor to the shroud. The sensor is attached to the right side of the radiator shroud, and protrudes through a small slit in the plastic. It will be obvious when you look at the sensor from underneath. It is difficult to reach inside and pull out the plastic nail connector - easier to push out from underneath.
Reach inside the close-out panel cavity and withdraw the harness that connects to the sensor. Remove the sensor - but examine the connector for corrosion. My original sensor connectors were corroded, but the connector was not (GM sells a replacement pigtail connector for about $32 list). My car is never driven in rain or snow, but the sensor was corroded. I'm not sure why - it has a weatherpack connector.
I used some silicone dielectric grease (GM part #12345579 - small tube and lists for $13.32) inside the sensor before plugging it into the connector - to prevent future corrosion.
Transfer the plastic nail to the new sensor, reach inside the close-out opening and insert the sensor through the hole. Push the plastic nail through the hole and then replace the close out panel.
It sounds complicated - but it isn't and should only take 5-10 minutes to change.
Good luck.

I greatly appreciate the help. I know i'll me needing more help as soon as i get more codes.
