Hi Guys,
This is the first time I have used this wonderful site so I hope I have come down the right shute. I am an old fart and find computers frightening.
I have been a UK member of the Corvette club and own a 1997 C5 since 2006 when I bought it from Tom at Clairemont. The car has been superb throughot and I have always vowed to make the box big enough so that I can take it with me when I go. At 52000 miles, I have just had the harmonic balancer replaced but there is a nagging question about the EBCM which worries me. Perhaps I am lucky but I have never had a problem but knowing these units are like hens teeth, would my trusty steed be static for the rest of its life if the unit failed ?
The car has been pampered and lives in a brick garage so there isn't any corrosion below the battery box. I believe the EBCM is under the passenger footwell on the 1997 C5.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
I have never had a remote fob and Tom told me to just use the key which I do and this does activate the alarm. Dart tried to program a fob for me many years ago with no success. They were surprised it didn't work. I have seen articles suggesting that the 1997 - 2001 Vets used an ealier fob.
I have read the postings above which suggest the fobs are all the same for European Vets ? Again, any guidance will be appreciated.
