Several questions abour the corvette
Does any know how to fix the squeak of the door panels?
The seats when adjusting it they squeak also?
The A/C button doesn't stay on, not sure if it should stay on and it doesn't blow cold air
The little plastics were you put in the key is loose and feels like its going to fall of the one that tells you "OFF, ON, RUN, ECT" ?
What are the best spark plugs to use on the corvette, as well as the wires?
My car has no horn but when you lock the car you can hear the horn I just can't honk???
I have a noisy fuel pump after I have driven the car for a while any fix for this?
How do you replace the sun visor?

you must be the other voice from the video with the yellow vette, who's friend was asking questions. welcome 
squeaks depend on what's touching. i'd imagine white lithium grease would fix that, though.
ignition witch (the key tumbler you're referencing) can be repaired/replaced:

best plugs/wires if you're factory, are usually just factory. you can get MSD wires for almost the same cost, though. just replace the plugs with the factory spec ones until you start running aftermarket parts, then consider a step or two colder.
that horn thing i dont know. that's weird. edit: OH, you mean when you lock it, the horn blows. so your horn is fine. so it's a fuse or the button itself in the steering wheel that's bad. or a wire between the fuse and the steering wheel. i didnt understand what you meant.
fuel pumps can be noisy and last 100k miles, or die at any moment. if in doubt, just replace it. replace the fuel filter, too, if its a 97-02 ('03 changed and it's in tank or something per EPS rules).
no idea on the sun visor, but it cant be hard. every one ive seen in any car was just a phillips head screw holding the bracket thing in.
not sure on AC, im weak in that area.

Is your outside temp display correct? If it is above 35F then you probably need a evac and recharge of the system. These cars are extremely sensitive to pressures so I would use a pro to evac and recharge and make sure they know the correct amount to use for a Vette.

Ok the key ignition works fine what I meant on that one was just the outside plastic is loose
I have to check on the temp gauge but it has the infamous low light problem and can barely see it lol
here is the RPO codes on the car

[/QUOTE]If the outside temp doesn't work the ac will not come on. It is cheap and easy to replace. Be sure to check the connector and wires.
