Power seat issues....
So I go to move my seat to vacuum behind them and the driver seat wont move. I try and look underneath to see if something came apart. Doing this I jiggled some harness and the seat starts to work. Problem is that now there's this canstant clicking noise from under the seat like it wants to keep moving. Any suggestions as to what it might be? Should I disconnect the battery to make sure this doesn't drain it? Thanks!!

You might need to unbolt the seat to get access to the connector(s) to take them apart, check and clean them. Might also have a pinched wire. Just for info, here's a thread with some ideas. Good luck.

My experience was pretty good. I had a small leak where the trans mates to the diff and the occasional clunking while backing up. They pulled the trans and diff to change the seals, changed the fluid in both and also changed the rear axle nuts to the newer type. Total cost to me $0.00.
They have a GM corvette specialist, Lee Starr, who is well known and respected in this area. He does all the corvette work there, but I guess they might assign a seat problem to another tech. I guess if you request that Lee works on your car that would not be a problem.
My only negative for the service desk people is that they told me it would take 2-3 days. ... After a week went by and I didn't hear from them, I called them. It turns out there was a delay in getting parts. That's understandable but hey, give me a call to let me know. You start to imagine the worst... like someone damaged the car and it's in the body shop getting a quick fix.
Anyway, lots of vette people go there just because of Lee's reputation.

Okay, I dropped my beloved vette off this evening at Mike Anderson Chevy. First impressions were good. A very clean shop. I gave them the list of things I needed checked out (since I avoid service dept. I figured I would have them try to solve everything in one shot). The list includes, driver power seat, popping from my end links, both seats have broken zippers in the back (don't know how this happened or why it would for that matter) and also (I'm crossing my fingers on this one) both of my headlights seem to have this condensation film on the inside of them. Not too noticeable in the day but in the evenings it interferes with the headlight projection. I'll check back in with my overall experience.
