Need Help Diagnosing a Problem
Guys,
I have a Zo6. Please read this chain of events and help me come up with a diagnosis of the problem.
1. Had just taken a 40 minute trip. Stopped to get gas. When I went to start the car, the entire dash was out (instrument cluster, radio, and AC...all shut down) as well as the engine and power seats!...After a few turns of the key, the car eventually restarted, but instruments didn't come back. I drove it for about a 1/4 and the engine shuts down again. Finally got it going again and went home.
2. Next day, as I pulled in to get gas (driving alot), the dash went out again, but engine ran.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. :banghead:

Don't mean to be insulting but did you check the battery connections (both terminals and at both ends). With a plastic car, grounds are scarce! :thumbs:

I'd suspect a ground problem. I'm not where I can get to my shop manual right now, but I'd start by looking for a ground common to all those. They do come loose.
Good luck. :cheers:
