Welcome to the forum. Since you are new here, most likely you are not able to access the private message feature that the forum offers. If you continue to post in accordance with the rules and guidelines, the forum software will eventually turn on your PM privileges.

Meanwhile, I will send Bill Curlee a message to get in touch with you. And moving this thread to the C5 Tech section. Watch for any responses to your thread. You may want to expand on just what questions you have since other members may also be able to help.

Welcome.

The humorous but real starting point for resolving many electrical issues with these cars is: Have you refreshed your grounds yet?
