@Dante928 20 дней назад

If that doesn't fix the issue check your ignition switch. The connections on the switch burn up over the years and it will stop making contact and acts just like a bad starter. I had replaced the starter, alternator, and battery before finally someone in the corvette forums told me about it. Spent over $700 for it to end up being a $30, 20 minute job...

@grandtheftundead6634 17 дней назад

ignition switch or ground

@badass1g 17 дней назад

I agree with the above

@RussellKyler-e3n 13 дней назад

I also tore the rest of my hair out with an intermitent electrical problem. After many dollars spent and my car sitting most of last summer, I replaced the ignition switch. The car is now fixed and running fine again. It's much easier than the starter and worth a shot.

@klaytonmayeaux8966 6 дней назад

This is one of the reasons I considered switching to a fob-based push-button start system to remove the ignition switch entirely. I heard it's fairly easy to do but it's mostly getting the relay installed properly so it acts like a physical key.

@roomtempcereal 5 дней назад

I agree as well as how the head unit power is routed? I’m pretty sure it’s a common thing to route power to ig

@eriah13 20 дней назад

Check your clutch neutral safety switch. Dealt with this problem for 2 weeks before fixing it. It's the black rectangular switch your clutch pedal hits when it's pushed all the way out. Get a flat head screw driver and hammer to tap it out

@skytigress 17 дней назад

Happened to my 92' 240sx, there's a relay way up top at the top of the clutch arm. Not sure on C5 though (I have one but I'm not crawling to look haha)

@WarriorsPhoto 19 дней назад

Hey dude. Start checking your grounds before replacing the starter. I think it’s a bad ground because of how you lose power when going to start the car. Good luck either way. 😊😅😊

@canadianracingleague 20 дней назад

Damn you Vette gremlins!! I'm praying for you its just the starter. God speed, my brotha!!

@ethanknight2046 15 дней назад

I had this same issue with my Lexus SC400. It ended up being a fried starter ground wire. Find where the starter grounds and fix that and it should work!

@sarrowood43 20 дней назад

Get Steve to tap the starter while you try and start it something metal like a screwdriver you'll have to take the starter apart and clean the brushes on the commutator clean the commutator a low battery makes high voltage High amperage which destroys the brushes and makes it impossible to get a connection clean the commutator and brushes

@kdmoutcast35 20 дней назад

I had the same issue on my Vette, took a tool and tapped on the starter and it started right up! I had the starter replaced and never had a problem since.

@theevilbeard 20 дней назад

It's a stick. Push start it and drive it to a shop with a lift!

@NativeMainer53 19 дней назад

You should put your neighbor on retainer

@1SharpGent 19 дней назад

Just did mine. It's not bad at all. I just took the passenger header out (remove plugs & wires) and then it was relatively easy. If you upgrade to the HD Bosche unit, you get a long bolt to replace the short stock one so it's much easier putting things back together.

@YoutubeMastersDegree 20 дней назад

wow my 98 vette is doing the exact same thing my mechanic removed a viper security system then it was fine for a week then no crank, so then my mechanic replaced the theft deterent relay and it started fine for 2 weeks then last saturday no crank, but today it cranked up fine... Edit: Mine is a automatic, I also put a new battery in before this problem occurred is it possible there needs to be a program relearn for a new battery?

@jondeauxman 19 дней назад

Driver's seat motor draining battery

@YoutubeMastersDegree 18 дней назад

@@jondeauxman that is why I replaced my old battery but I have had the seat unplugged ever since

@abobabop 19 дней назад

Common issue with the starter. When starter starting to die - you could just hit it with the hammer couple of times and it's very possible that it will come back to life for some time. Even better is to ask someone to start the car while you hitting the starter with the hammer.

@TonyC-f6j 2 дня назад

Headers throw off a lot of heat and will eat starters alive. Something “big header” won’t mention in their advertising. In tight real estate cars like Corvette, starter replacement will become a regular thing. Consider a heat shielding solution next time you replace the starter such as header wrap.

@TheOldPCTech 4 дня назад

My 2002 did this for a short time, and I had to jump it using my battery charger… battery was fine, but for some reason it would only start when I hit it with the 250 amp boost setting on my charger. I finally decided it must be the starter, so I ordered a new one from RockAuto. Before I had a chance to install it, the mystery problem went away, and unless the battery dies, it fires up every time. The new starter is still sitting on a shelf waiting for the day it actually needs replacing.

@badass1g 17 дней назад

You’d be surprised how many times a “ghost just fixed it” for me. 🙏

@stevendoeden9269 20 дней назад

Could this be a grounding issue? I would check all grounds, these cars have issues with bad grounding

@WarriorsPhoto 19 дней назад

This is what I think it is. I’ve had this happen before a couple of cars. 😊

@khmerprofile 5 дней назад

I have the same issue after disconnecting the battery, its the security. Push the key in all the way as you turn to start, also try pressing the unlock button few times on the fob.

@chrisdavies5255 10 дней назад

Diagnostics win in the long run - my bet was on a defective ignition switch not allowing the pass key to read properly. After installing the steering wheel lock bypass, I no longer get the 'pull key wait 10 second' message - as much as I love these cars, they are a PIA sometimes.

@danielr5620 11 дней назад

I had to replace the crank shaft position sensor and I had to remove headers and starter. Took 1.5 hours. I would highly recommend replacing that sensor while you do this job so you don't have to do it twice like I did!!!!!!!!!

@mauryjohnson 12 дней назад

Have this same issue... After using the electric diagram and a multimeter I figured out that the Theft deterrent relay is working as it should. But I found an issue where the popup headlight motor was draining the battery. I pulled the fuses for both of them, and kept the headlights always up. I disconnected my ground and reconnected it and it starts up! Now the only issue is if I wait a while I cannot crank unless I disconnect and reconnect the battery.. UGH

@retrobear9367 18 дней назад

2 days ago. Mine just totally shutdown in the center lane or rt.1 here in Lewes Delaware. I cranked and i cranked. Nothing. It came back twice for like 2 seconds. 20 mins go by. She comes back on and i get her off the road. The next day. The battery is stone dead. I charged for while at work. The battery said full when I got home. Still nothing. I put the charger on repair mode and let the Optima Red top charge. She's cranked every since. Drove her to work today no issue. I did notice my crank sensor code came on. So I have one ordered. Installing next weekend with my SLP Loud mouth

@IanDoohan 20 дней назад

You need an LMC5 before your column locks on you and kills your fuel pumps.

@RealKombat 15 дней назад

I had an issue with the battery draining, turned out the flip down sun visor spring that holds the little mirror cover shut had worn out just a little over 20+ years and would trigger the mirror light to come on but it was almost impossible to tell until one night I spotted it. Unplugged that mirror light and the issue never came back.

@btcbob11392 14 дней назад

After chasing gremlins on my 2002 C5 it came down to the ignition switch and resistor the that is installed in the key for the security system. Also C5's are notorious for not running right if the battery voltage in even a little low.

@bobh2133 19 дней назад

So my 2003 does this sometimes and from my research it has something to do with the chip in the key and the factory security system. If I cycle the door locks with the key fob it seems to fix it and start. Does not always work, sometimes I have to do it several times to get it to start but it has always come around and fired up. just my .02 for what its worth.

@eeroala5132 17 дней назад

First run the codes.

@Furyataurus 10 дней назад

I have longtube headers on my 01 camaro and took out the starter no problems. 😊😊😊

@mlc7boosted 18 дней назад

"Unfortunately" in this case means that fuse 14 is NOT blown. I know how you feel. This is one of the few times where I DO want to see a blown fuse which would explain a lot.

@AdrianMendoza209 12 дней назад

Replace the ignition switch. My brothers c5 does that and we put it in neutral and move it and then we hear a click and it will start. My trailblazer ss did the same thing and it was the ignition switch.

@c5zo6adventures41 20 дней назад

Been there done that it is not that bad. It’s just placing the wires back there. You may have to go in blind and feel your way and put the wires back on.

@sipnscoot3049 4 дня назад

It’s still the starter. They just seize up. Or the silanoid is stuck? I would suggest tapping the starter with a hammer? But that looks impossible 😅. I had a Toyota truck that did the same thing bro. But I was able to give it a few taps and it worked. Eventually I had to change the starter

@sipnscoot3049 4 дня назад

Also try push starting it. Bump start. At least find out you can still run it. Do you know how to do that?

@jaysrides93 17 дней назад

@LC-nh8ig 19 дней назад

Hey, love your vette. Do you know if theres a company that sells glass roof for the C5 targa? I'm in France and it seems hard to come by round here. Mine has cracked and the crack is not only on the surface, it goes through (still waterproof but ugly af)

@dadzwag 12 дней назад

In the US yes but shipping to france would be about $200 so like $1500 total

@yukimasaheppe 18 дней назад

Going to have to unbolt the header to get to the starter not to bad

@kevinkobayashi 13 дней назад

its simple: no gas duh, look at the odometer

@jondeauxman 19 дней назад

11.7 is too low. You have a battery draw. It's always the driver's seat motor draining the battery. Unplug it. It's happened on every C5 I've owned.

@denispriszahnuk 20 дней назад

@danodoherty4291 18 дней назад

Just went through this on my 99 c5 I did a battery and alternator still nothing tightened all ground cables and checked under seat connections finally started can’t say for certain what it was 😂

@TaiNguyen-yd1cs 3 дня назад

need a new starter

@gilgonzalez5902 20 дней назад

First thing i would have done is have somebody tap the starter while i crank the ignition. If the starter magically engages then boom thats your culprit.

@diegomejiamejiacardenas4542 19 дней назад

i had the same problem check anything related to the key and the key ignition i had to change a few pieces in order to make my vette starts if the key ignition it’s a lil damage it won’t go to the right position and it will interfere with everything else, making the car just not to start

@joeanthonyreyna5357 19 дней назад

If it’s not the starter , it could a anti theft pass key issue , there’s 2 tabs that read the resistor chip on the key , one of the tabs in the ignition switch broke off , I bypassed the anti theft and it started right up.

@bigjaeroque 18 дней назад

Mine was doing the same thing. Turns out I had to replace the ECM. No issues since

@graysonyellin7053 17 дней назад

@jimipuffit 20 дней назад

if you need to pull codes from the DIC, I highly recommend either taking a video of it cycling through the codes or take a picture every time it changes. it spits the codes out wayyy too fast to write them down or try to remember them.
