sensor is bad. you can try electric contact cleaner but youre probably going to replace it.

Raise the headlights, either with the switch or manually by turning the knob on the headlight motor counter-clockwise.
Unplug the lights NOW to avoid an accidental closing on your fingers,
Remove the 3 philips screws holding the black plastic surrounding the headlights, and slide it forward, there is a small clip on the top that helps hold it to a corresponding clip at the top of the headlight,
Look inside the cavity and you can see the 5 nuts/bolts ( 6 on later years ) that need to be removed,
If you are on the driver's side you can now remove the whole assembly, on the passenger's side you must first unplug the headlight door control module.

Open the hatch/door on the center console, pry up that plastic piece just forward of the door with a small screwdriver working from the rear, remove those 2 nuts in the recess, unscrew the door if you wish for easier handling, at the rear of the console opening there are 2 small plastic covers, pop those out and remove the 2 nuts under them, lift the rear of the console and slide it back just enough to unplug the fuel door opening button( there isn't much slack in the wiring for this button so don't pull the console back too far ). I suspect you only needed step one, but this will get the console out for easier access to the power outlet.

The outside temp sensor is located under the passenger side by the front skid rail.

Does the car have a spear tire? Maybe its not tight in its cratel.

the sending unit is in the tank. jack it up make sure fuels low disconnect lines and filler hose and wireing to pump drop straps lower tank.undo bolt to tank top unlock locking ring.take out sending unit and pump replace and reverse.involved but not that complicated unless your exhaust is in the way.hope that helps

The Problem that I Have seen with Many Vettes and FRONT Lighting Problems is At the Wiring Harness and Connectors, Check Any area that gets BENDING MOVMENT when Openeing ENGINE COMPARTMENT, the Wires Break INSIDE THERE INSULATION. Check for Turn Sygnal Current (With TEST LIGHT) at ALL JUNCTIONS Starting at the FIREWALL when it STOPS SHOWING You have Located the Problem in the Curcit.

The fuel filler door release is the black button at the front of the center console storage compartment.

If your fuel filler door release won’t operate, there is a manual release tab. The tab is located against the upper trim in the rear compartment on the driver's side.

Hopefully it's not a transmission problem but the more obvious which would be a universal joint. you have those on each end of the drive shaft and one on each end of the drive axles. the drive axles are exposed and easy to check by just getting under it and feeling for slack. The shaft itself is enclosed and I consider that a job for the dealer.

I think you have a vacum problem. Check the vacum hose that, I think starts at the rear of the intake manafold
that hose will pass through the fire wall. Check to be sure
that the hose is not split or BENT stopping the vacumn
from getting to the A/C & Heater system.
Part of the job of that hose is to open & close the vents
air direction.

you need to replace the temperature actuator on the left side of heater evaporator case, also ck the blower resistor and connection that should fix ya up.

call your local dearship and see if the recall has been done to your car. Have you vin handy, they will ask. If it hasn't been done then it will be a free of charge fix for you. If it has then report back so we can try and help you out.

It sounds like you have power coming out of the switch to the motor because of what you hear. So that pretty much leaves you with a window regulator problem. Make sure there's no binding action between window & frame

You should have to pull on the metal collar it is made on the plug wires to keep them from getting to hot near the exhaust.

Pretty straight forward. Disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable from the battery. Then use a 3/8 rachet and remove the serp belt with the tensioner. Then remove the bolts that hold the alternator. Move out of the way a little. Remove the cable. Then disconnect the plug. Then install in reverse order.

why not just disable the motors while in up position?

Maybe this infromation can help you:

Good luck (remember rated this help).

assuming you mean replacing the bulb? about $2.00 a bulb
the bulb is push and twist, open the hood and remove the plastic cover then remove the bulb by pushing it down and twist it a little till it pops out. I see only one light , I think my 1994 vette has two
