Thanks guys.
Pumba, sorry i have never heard of anybody doing this. The only way i could imagine is to locate the buzzer and disconnect him. Another way might be to find the responsible fuse. Before you pull the fuse you should be shure that nothing important is running with that fuse . . .
Sorry, cant give you more info about this.

To all that say they didn't get any codes from pulling the fuse, if you look under BCM in your DIC you will see them.
But, they will not light the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) so unless you go look, you will not know.

Sorry, i forgot to say: webside is under construction. I am working on it since approx. 2 month. Working parts are: Gallery incl. guestbook, Link section. The tech section is not yet ready at all. The next thing that will come up is the performance section. Main page of the perf. section is working, links not . . . Sorry, i will post soon when i have some more progress !

Thanks for asking !

Jochen, I just tried it again -- the Gallery on the English and German sides:

Here's the link: http://www.corvettec5.de/E/Gallery/main.html%20

I can't get it to work. Gleiche Message. :confused:

Mmhhh. . . strange. It works fine on my Computer (and on others too). The link should be: http://www.corvettec5.de/E/Gallery/main.html

but the link you posted worked fine as well . . . :confused:

I really have no idea what causes the problem.


Please let me know as soon as you get access to the side ! There are really some cool pics from Nashville, some german Corvette events, my Corvette and more.

Take care,

Jochen

OK, Jochen, I think I figured it out. It seems to be a browser issue with Netscape 7.1 (which is what I use normally -- easier on the viruses, but then again, no access). Internet Explorer works fine.

Good site; well done. :smash:

Jochen; WOW... what a great write-up.
:iagree: Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this.

This procedure should be added to the Forum "tech tips" section! :cheers:

Excellant....a big thank you.

Side story...I just travel the central highway (# 5) through California and the DRL of Corvettes going the opposite direction made the vettes stand out in traffic so much I wanted to disconnect my DRLs. That is so my car would be more "stealthy".

Next step in this article (ideally for me) would be a dash mounted on/ off switch.

Thanks guys.
Acctually i did sent this to the tech section right after i posted it here, so i guess it will be there soon . . .

The switch is a good idea. Might be a future project . . . :D

Take care,

Jochen

Hate to bump a thread that's so old. But I was looking to see if anyone could fix the pics in the first post?

You can sign the op's guest book and ask him if still has the pics:
http://www.corvettec5.de/E/Gallery/main.html

Or go to the general discussion forum and click on "search this forum" and type in disable drl.
