Battery disconnect problems
OK, Friday I let the Corvette down to get it ready to go this weekend. It hesitated and coughed a bit when I tried to start it....like the battery was weak or down (it was on the battery tender). So I got my meter out and checked it 13.8 volts.... I looked closer at the ground cable and it's got some corrosion all over it. So I take off that terminal and clean it all up. Put it back on and she kicks right over.....but, when I opened the doors, the windows didn't close automatically. No big deal, I cycled them to relearn. Work fine.... reset the radio with all the little gadgets. Don't think anymore about it.
We leave and go to father in laws' house for a visit. and I find that I have to hit the hatch release button three times before it will open. Doesn't matter if we are talking the inside button (on lower knee panel) or the outside button (back by the license plate). Also the hatch doesn't close as easy as it did before. I know that this just started with the battery disconnected. Where is the setting which allows me to change this? Pretty frustrating to have to hit the button three times to open the hatch.
