First corvette, first problem
I bought my first corvette 4 weeks ago, for three weeks its sat at a dealership with a "low power" code. I was told I need a new ECU. Ive been searching for a week and can't find one. Does anyone here have any advice on where I can locate one. PT # 19210071. TIA.

What's the chance your dealer's service department checked the battery? A lot of stories around here about how wacky things get with bad batteries.

I was able to load it into the 'cart', so maybe they have one. Refurbished, though. Good Luck.

They are lots of them for sale. That part # is a common GM ECU. There are used ones, new ones, or refurbs available.

A lot of the electrical issues would not exist if people would just drive their Corvette regularly.

Not likely, but I personally keep it plugged into a battery tender from Dec-Apr.

Yes yes... Number one Corvette Rule... Replace the battery with new battery... then carry on with your trouble shooting.... Batteries are inexpensive, plentiful and the base for many Corvette short comings.. Aquire a new battery every 3 years and don't trust anyones advice without knowing about your battery! Ask me how I know!
