C5 Maintenence... So I just bought this 2000 Vette and the following things are wrong:
Reverse lights dont work
E Brake doesnt work
Turn signals crap out
Car is perfect otherwise. The ebrake has resistance, I have to believe the cable is still there, is it tough to get to under the car?
As for the reverse lights, I guess it could be the switch, where does it happen to be located? Also I plan on installing a Hurst Billet plus I have sitting here, would that affect it?
Finally the turn signals just stop working sometimes, if i press the hazard button they come back... sometimes. I guess its the switch or relay behind the hazard button, how do I get to it??
Thanks for the help!!

Fuses and bulbs are good..... is the cable hard to get to?
If the vette is the same as the f body pull the rear rotors off and check the drum pads for the e brake, you might be able to adjust them out if there good. As far as getting under the car do you have a jack or ramps?

If you can get a jack under it you could jack it up and put the ramps under the front then lift the back for some good room to see the hole under side of the car. Just watch the exhaust or back bumper doesen't hit the ground when lifting the front.
