Default Wonky electronics

I'm having intermittent issues with my right headlight/DRL and right turn signal. Started getting turn signal failure in DIC and signal would flash fast but only happened sometimes. Other times it worked fine. Tonight my right headlight started flickering then went out. After restarting the car it was fine. Started it later it was fine. Any ideas?

FYI, there was another recent thread here that seemed nearly, if not exactly identical. You may wish to search for and give it a read. All the best, in any event!

You don't provide us with much information, especially the year of your car but when bizarre issues start happening with electronics on these cars first look to the battery. Check to make sure the connections are good and not loose but have the battery tested (which even though it might test ok, could still be failing). If you don't use a battery tender to keep the battery fully charged at all times, get one and use it. My 14 Z51 battery failed at 2 years after I started getting weird messages on the dic. Good luck, keep us posted.

So, it looks like the wonky electronics.are all tied into the same thing, at least according to the service tech. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...lant-line.html

I'd also be wondering about the possibility of mice getting into your wiring.
