Suspension control module
It's happened again...the control module is fried. Part number is 10302714. But this thing is discontinued and I can't find a new one anywhere. My dealer says a used one won't do me any good because they are locked to the vin # and can't be reprogrammed. I replaced the rear shocks not long ago at great expense, so I really would like to keep this system stock if possible. Any ideas? Also, know of a Corvette specialty shop in the Western North Carolina area? Maybe someone to help with this?
Thanks Guys

I had this thing replaced several years ago by a new part, which was not locked at all. The dealer programmed it to my car, which locked it, and it worked ok....till now. The new part is not available any more, and any used part I might find has already been locked to a different car and cannot be reprogrammed. I did find an outfit that will rebuild mine, but just getting it out of the car is more than I want to tackle. Since the car will not run and drive with it removed, I have to decide if I want to leave it at the shop while I send the unit to be rebuilt. It would be stored outside in an unlocked lot, and I'm not too keen on that.

It's just in the back mounted with some nuts and connectors to pull off to get it out. You can drive the car just fine , just can't do over 80mph.
I've never heard about it being locked to the VIN of the car before. That sounds like BS to me.

Here's one for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/16509475074...QAAOSwv7VhUcjO . a far as it being keyed to the vin, no one has ever said this and its BS.

I don't even know how you'd program it. Everyone says the car will get the option turned on automatically if the module is plugged in and there are no options for it, it either exists in the car or not.

Update
It seems that due to miscommunication somewhere, I got the wrong information as to which part is faulty. It turns out that the ABS module is the culprit. That's part # 10343433 It also is discontinued and a Google search doesn't turn up any for sale. I know that there's videos on YouTube showing how to re-solder some points yourself, but I spoke with the mechanic at my local Chevy dealership who said he's tried on 4 different units to make that repair without success. I think I'll have him pull it out of the car, since I'm too old and lazy to do it myself; it looks like it would be a pain. Any suggestions as to where to send it to be repaired?
