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.

Attempt this fix at your own risk! Does your C6 Corvette sometimes not start but the engine turns over and you have fuel in the tank? There is a chance that your fuel pump relay has a bad electrical connection which is causing the fuel pump to fail to operate normally. In this video I share a method to alleviate this particular cause of engine failure. There are many reasons a car might not sta...

Here is a "short" video showing how to change the fuel sending unit in a C6 Corvette, specifically a 2006 automatic. After the passenger side unit began to fail a few months ago I finally got around to replacing it along with the fuel pump, but by mistake I ordered a pump for a later model year (2007-2013 I think). The effect of the wrong sending unit is that when the driver side tank was full ...

    I have gone as far to write the company that make these mirrors trying to get parts. I hate the idea that it would cost $500 for a replacement when we only need the shell. In my research, Caddy XLR is also like the C6, The Pont. G6 convertible is also a swivel mount, (the only other to use the swivel mount) has upgraded "fingers" that hold the rotating ball that are larger and should hold up better, but ts not a exact fit. Someone needs to reproduce a shell.

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?

    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

    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. Guess I wont be willing my Corvette to them on my passing.

      @@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.
