hello i have a 2014 z51 stingray and when i was cruising the rev match came on and off when i am driving and the pedals don't work to turn it off the gear-indicator keeps lighting up yellow / white i cant turn int off or on
anyone know what it is? it has only 19k miles on the clock if i can disconect the whole rev match or pull a fuse thats fine by me i never use it anyway and never will

I have not heard of this. Possible faulty switch. Best to take it into the dealer to diagnose. I'd be interested in hearing the outcome. Best of luck.

One of my favorite features. Are you getting any codes? If not, than possibly the module. Not sure if it has dedicated fuse. Check the manual.

With rev match it kinda does not matter if its on or off....if it stays on no harm, no foul...live with it for a while and see if it self-remedies...even if you don't use it - it makes all of us "better drivers" At least a little bit smoother.

This is a long shot (and I might be thrown under the bus). Disconnect a battery cable for a few minutes then reconnect. This reboot might clear the problem. Be sure to reset the side windows' open/close memory.
When reconnecting the cable, make sure it is set down firmly on the post when tightening.

Surprised no one has jumped on the dead/weak battery remedy. 2014 with 16K. Could be the original battery. Funny things happen with today's Corvettes and a weak/dead battery. If it has a new battery, disregard my post.

While the battery (hopefully not older than dirt) is disconnected, clean the cable connectors and terminals.

(two things needed with "modern" vehicles: a multi-meter and a code-reader, both cheap and readily available)

Unless you are a professional race car driver, you are not as consistently smooth with it off. You really should give it a try once you've had your car repaired.

Rev match has made me dumb. Absolutely moronically dumb. LOL. I tried driving the other day with it off....


.....I'm glad I was alone.


Definitely look into the condition/age of your battery. If it's the original....get a new one. These cars WILL start acting very bizarre with dying batteries.
