The mechanic said that my computer was wet. I know the computer is in a bad location (In the passenger side front fenderwell behind the wheel) but has anybody else had trouble with their computer going out?
Thanks Brian.
Well, I don't really have experience with actual problems related to this, but I will tell you what little I know. A good friend of mine has two C5s, a '98 couple and a '01 Z06. When I started looking for a C5, I asked about issues that may come up, and one of the things he told me about was your problem. He suggested that I replace the battery with an Optima (to prevent ever having any leakage) immediately after buying the car. The ECU on these cars is mounted in the well directly BELOW the battery (some real forward thinking there, huh?). This friend is an ASE certified tech, and has seen/heard of too many horror stories related to this, so I took his advice. Don't know if this is what happened to you or not, but I wanted to at least relay what little I know.
