Default Weird/annoying Issues????

Long story short, I go to start my car today after sitting for about 3 days and the battery is dead......no big deal I jump it and plan to get a new battery anyway.

So I start the car right up and the Service Security System pops up on the NAV. Not only this but I look at the gauge cluster and all 4 TPMS show ---.

I get out of the car when i get where Im going and go to click lock the doors and the key fob doesn't work at all. Tried the spare and it doesn't work either.

Also, noticed while driving the temp gauge isnt working the mechanical or digital.


Anyone have a damn clue WTF is going on? Car has 56k miles and shouldnt be giving me problems like this. Its about to get driven into a telephone pole and then set on fire. Once it fixed chances are im selling it in the spring after I take it out of storage.

Check your grounds on the back side of your heads (1 on each side) and the ground on the right side of eng compartment just in front of your battery.

why on earth wont this crappy HU keep EQ3 on all stations. Everytime i change stations it goes to some horrid custom setting, which wont let me change it.


this HU is by far the worst hunk of **** i have ever used.

Don't worry. Your TPMS will come back. It takes time to learn. Your temp gauge will also come back after a few drive cycles as well. The security issue might be resolved by pulling the PCM fuse for more than 30 secs, put the fuse back in and push the unlock key until u hear the locks work. If that doesnt work, put the key in the ignition, and hit the unlock button until the locks work. Goodluck.

For the radio to hold it's EQ settings, you have to save the channel with it in the EQ you want.

well if you hit one do not hit one with cans or any equipment those poles are very costly try not to hit a junction pole where there are few set of cross arms they can get expensive also!

Undecided, it's one of those things when your car pisses you off, but ive thrown around the idea for a while, it all depends if i miss it a lot come spring.

If I do sell ill buy like an 02-04 silverado(which im saving for now cause i have a boat, jet ski, and hunt) and probably build an LSX fox like ive always wanted to. I know ill never be able to afford an 09 V at 22years old plus eventually buy a house and i know ill never be able to last without having something with some speed.

Been saving for a silverado i love the 5.3s in them things theyll run forever since i cant afford a duramax.

I sat in a C6 a couple months ago and if id have fit i probably wouldnt own the V anymore. I really want a vette but no way will i fit comfortable enough to enjoy it.

Yeah, this is a quirky car that's not for the faint at heart...but, if you're willing to put up with her and know how to work her buttons, she'll give you a real nice ride and a big smile on your face...and we wonder why we call cars 'shes', haha
