Newbie to the Corvette ownership, so I am not an expert at all, need help with following:
C6, 2005
Purchased Dec 19,
Car drove perfectly, for 6 weeks, not a fault at all,
Have replaced brakes, drop links, and service items, plugs, oil etc.
Had suspect alternator, so replaced with a mechman,
Now getting intermittent fault ‘traction control, reduced power’ sometimes the electric die completely, leaving coasting to side of road, or in limp mode!
Have now refitted old alternator, which is charging at 12.5v-14v driving
Have replaced battery, as old one was at 60% live
Today, after 200mile trip, she shut down again, on M25!
Now I am no expert on electrics, ignorant to it to be honest, but if the voltage isn’t right, I am guessing it could throw up all sorts of faults!
When car dies, battery & alternator very hot! Could this be a resistance problem? Earthing points?
Thanks in advance, absolutely LOVE the Vette, but starting to lose confidence in her!!!!
