right.

read the quote after the "nope"


It turns out a main fuse blew in the engine compartment panel. A 30 amp fuse to be exact. I even checked a few fuses in that area but I missed that one. I would like to take a picture of the location but my camera is out of commission right now. Hopefully I can get one up in a few days.
Is there a non electrical way to open the door? I'm guessing thats what you mean by "auxillary door opener". Or course a brick could be considered a 'auxillary door opener". if there is one, its funny no one in the forum told him that.

if i'm not mistaken, the auxillary door popper isn't electric. It's manual Atleast, it'd be idiotic not to make it manual. It's there in case the batteries die

This would be different if the thread mentioned "Don't get a Ford Tempo" or something that's obviously bad. Corvettes haven't exactly been plagued with reliabilty issues. Most of these seem like isolated incidents.

But it also bothers me how every other manufacturer is glorified on here except for Honda/Acura. They still make damn good cars.

sooo.. how, exactly, would you access that if you're not inside the car, and the windows are closed?

There is a 4 month long wait on new Z06. And if you have one, people will pay a premium for one. Basically those hardcore people.

The Lingenfelter are awsome and had chance to drive a modifed C5. But personally, I hate turbo, supercharger. Big cubic inches will do.

You can open the rear hatch with the ignition key inserted by the license plate.
Then you stand on the side of the car and reach through the hatch and pull the lever behind the drivers seat to pop the door open.
