Default C5 2000

Brand new C5 owner. First time. Love the Florida car in amazing shape.

Looking forward to advice on simple issues and looking to learn from the experts.

I grew up a VW van kid and now have a sign shop in the DC / VA area.

Thanks!
Mark

Thanks! Just a recent gremlin where i thought I'd be helpful to "clear the fault codes" on Sat and now it won't crank over? Like a security thing?

Crazy tech from 2000's.
