Thank Goodness for Corvettes! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Nelson, et al, I called the shop who has it to put the battery in and trouble shoot. They can't get it to fail as I have only had two instances in a year and both in the last two months. It may be electrical but it may also be something to do with the clutch switch too. In my case it dawned on me a little bit ago that my size fifteen feet may be the issue so that when I get it back I intend to locate the switch on the clutch and be sure I'm not somehow placing my big feet in such a way to kick the switch. The shop is checking the switch now when I called them. I don't think there is a battery switch like you have but since I'm not the first or original owner it could be. They should see that when they pull the battery. I normally would pull the body panel and put a new battery in but with this issue while it's in the shop I told them to go ahead and put a really good battery in and to do the annual safety inspection a month early while they had it. The TBSS they said this morning they found the right part and it is due in tomorrow but as a backup ordered the parts inside the discontinued part to rebuild it if need be because the new part might not be a perfect fit. They already ordered an aftermarket part which had different attachment points which creates the problem with GM no longer making the part where the front drive shaft from the transfer case on the AWD sends power to the front wheel differential and drive mechanisms. It is the receiver end of the fit the drive shaft splines in. When the splines sheared they also sheared the receiver's splines.
