Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C5? That's covered under the C5 Corvettes, 1997 - 2004 section:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/

Got a technical question about the C5? Use the C5 Technical section:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c5-tech-1/

General question? There's a C5 General Section:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c5-general-103/

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
