It was difficult to getting the CAGS to kick in before I defeated it on my 08.
GM really has it dialed down so it's less annoying. It maybe came on.. twice in 4K miles of driving.. try again.. I never heard of a stock cags failure before.. at least nobody ever complained about it...

Glad you figured it out. It could be annoying when you find something not working that's supposed to.
Beautiful car and gorgeous color, btw.

Now enjoy your vette!

Dan, thank you for kind words. Yes I am glad I took it off my system that I bought a defective car. Now waiting for that CAGS eliminator to come.

Do yourself a favor and eliminate the CAGS feature in an easier way. Use the new "glows when it blows" fuse on the number 10 fuse. My motto has always been to "keep it simple". Do a search for LED CAGS and read about it.

What would one like me do without this forum?
