Won’t turn over! Won’t shift!
Hello to the mighty corvette community. I have never really worked on a car let alone a corvette. Anyways, when I turn the key over and try to start it all I get is a brake light and a check engine light that my Haynes manual says will shut off after it starts. I’ve assumed it was the e-brake being difficult and nothing worked in that department. The other problem is that when I go under the car to get at the shift linkage I can’t seem to move the “fittings” the cables go into. Any help would be appreciated.

What year Vette; what tranny??
If you plan on doing some work yourself you really need a copy of the official GM Corvette Service Manual for your year Vette. |

Ah, you have part of the FSM set then? I would advise you not to use the Haynes for toilet paper. Paper is too hard and will scratch. Seriously, see if you have an electrical schematic section. Mine has a thick book and a think section, about the size of the TP book. Next thing you need is a scanner to read live data and NOT a code reader.

Yes, :iagree:
The 90 & the 95 Vettes I've had FSM's for were specific to those model years and were 3-volume sets in 3-ring binders, spanning about 7 or maybe 8 inches, including an engine supliment. Compared to a Haynes multi-year manual, there is no comparison. (I know...i also have a Haynes manual for my wife's C3. It leaves A LOT of information - the real model year specifics - missed, or not germane to her particular (1969) Vette. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of the REAL "Factory Service Manual" for starters. |
So I’ve looked at the wiring diagrams in the shop manual.. I’ve found out that my wiring isn’t the issue. It seems to be that it’s locked in park and the e brake won’t fully release.
