C6 Corvette Dead Battery - What to do?
In this video I show how to access the battery on a C6 corvette when the battery dies. Normally you could just pop the hood after opening the drivers door, but if the battery is dead the driver's door no longer opens like normal.

    Drew Man thanks a mil. I drive a 2000 c5 M6 Vette. As usual getting the "LOW FEUL" light w/DIC (Code :P01431), which indicates pass. side fuel sending sensor prob. On this model I was told that I could access the sending unit by un-bolting it from the tank & removing it w/o dropping the fuel tank. I was told this side has just the level sensor plus other components. Have u a vid. on doing the passenger side of the '97-'04 c5 cars? Also how do I make sure I purchase the correct fuel level sending unit/sensor for my 2000 c5 M6 vette? HELP!! Best.

    Hey Drew Mann, I've got a C6 2008 Automatic too. I recently installed a "Red Light Bandit" to the accelerator harness. There is a hesitation in the acceleration because of the fly by wire system from the manufacturer. The "Red Light Bandit" makes the acceleration instant and exciting. This device plugs in between the accelerator and the main harness under the dash and doesn't affect anything else. Super cool driving experience! Also, "Maguire's Headlight Coating" is a spray that slows down the UV lens hazing damage on the headlights. The Coating lasts about a year then you will need to re-apply it again after sanding off the coating from the previous year. I put some on my C6 last year and will see how long it lasts this coming year. I keep a cover on my C6 when I'm not driving it, so, that may help the lenses stay clear longer. The lenses face upward and so the UV Rays are hitting them constantly. That is what makes the lenses haze over. FYI

    • @DrewMann
      @DrewMann 4 місяці тому

      Good stuff, I would be a bit concerned about giving a third party device control over the throttle, just in the event that something went wrong and it commanded full power without my input. Good tip with the Headlight Coating, I'll have to pick up a bottle :)

    IMHO: THAT MINOR "CURVE" IS NOT AN ISSUE, IF YOU CUT A WING THAT IS THINNER THAN THE FACTORY BOARD THICKNESS!... YOU REALLY OUGHT TO USE A STRONGER SPRING, TO TENSION YOUR HOTWIRE!!!... AND, RUN ALL OF YOUR CUTS IN A VERTICAL PLANE, GOING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SLAB, TOWARD THE TOP, SO THAT THE RISING HEAT FROM THE WIRE DOES MORE CUTTING, AND SPEEDS UP THE RATE OF CUT... (WITH A BIT LESS DISTORTION), AND, NEVER USE A "FACTORY SURFACE" (CUT ALL EDGES, AROUND THE AIRFOIL)... ALSO, TURN UP THE VOLTAGE, A BIT, SO THAT THE WIRE CUTS FASTER!!... USE A THINNER (SMALLER GAUGE WIRE)... TO GET FASTER, CLEANER CUTS.

    From what I have heard the dealer charges about $5k to do what you did in a few hours. I have done the passenger tank sending unit on C5 before so it can be done just like you did on jack stands. You made it look very easy. Old guys like me dont move as fast as flexible as you do . This was one of the best videos I have seen on You Tube. For as young as you are you are one hell of a good mechanic. Wish my grandsons had your skills none of them have any interest in working on cars.

      @engineermike5987 8 місяців тому

      @@DrewMann I'm a mech E by degree, and work in the commercial nuclear power industry. What's CM? The engine mounts went bad on my 2006 Corvette, so I bought these aftermarket mounts made out of modified hockey pucks and aluminum cases. (Regretable purchase on my part.) And immediately after a shop installed them, which was about 5 or 6 months ago, I've been having trouble with my fuel tank gage working right. Maybe they buggered up the brittle wire insulation in between the fuel gauge and ECM, or maybe they buggered up the ECM, or maybe the higher conductivity of the aftermarket mounts in and of itself is buggering up my fuel gage? Well, I'm going to take it to another shop tomorrow Lord willing and see if they can fix it.

      @engineermike5987 oh neat, I imagine that's an interesting line of work. (CM for construction management). I also had my engine mounts replaced less than a year ago, but went with OEM and not having any issues with them. I would be fairly surprised if there was a correlation between the work you had done and the fuel gauge acting up. Is the problem manifesting itself as the needle moving some what sporadically or dropping down by about half randomly? If so, it seems like it would probably be related to the fuel sending units going bad

Its a risky job of course, potential to cause damage or worse, but if you do it right, it seems be a good fix for the corroded relay housing connections. A multi meter and good soldering skills are a must, and a fuse to prevent burning out the pump is critical. I wish you the best of luck in getting the problem resolved :)
