It's Official
Well, I'm officially a Corvette owner again after 20+ years without one. I flew out yesterday morning, met at the airport and started my 700 mile drive back home last night, stayed at a hotel and started off again at 5am this morning. Never even been in a C5, let alone drove one. I have no complaints at all with the car. It was better than I expected. It rained most of the way home so it's slightly dirty now so I'll try and wash it up in the next couple of days and get some pics of it. I do have a question for you all though. The DIC was replaced a couple of months ago by a reputable corvette place but when the previous owner got the car back, when you turn the turn signals on you hear the clicking in the dash like normal BUT the warning/door chime beeps with the turn signals now also. This is the warning chime if you were to leave your lights on and got out of the car or something. Any ideas why? How to correct? how to disconnect from the chime? It doesn't take long to get annoying at a stop light. Any help would be appreciated. Jason

Didn't happen to buy it from Panama City, Florida, did you?

Someone else recently had the same problem after something in the instrument panel was worked on. Never got a resolution to it....
All kidding aside, I don't know the real answer to your question, but someone here in this thread simply took the cluster out and cut the wire to the chime speaker. I would do that, personally, because it sounds like in all the threads I just searched, people either didn't get a resolution, or replaced the cluster.

The member who did it, @Bandit 00C5 is still active on the forum, so I'm sure he'd chime in if there was any negative effects - but from that thread it doesn't sound like it.
