check this guy out he has a lot of stuff used and new TABER CORVETTE PARTS PHONE 1-877-349-2838. HE WILL HAVE IT,

 

HE GETS $50.00 FOR ONE I HAVE THE PARTS BOOK IN FRONT OF ME.

 

$50 for a ECC unit??? HOLY! They are $300 everywhere on the 'net, bro!!! THANKS for the tip there, I'll DEFINATELY call him once we open 'er up and figure it out!

 

MY BAD DUDE THE PRICE IS 150.00 WITH EXCHANGE I CALLED HIM UP. STILL A GOOD PRICE.

 

Still, bro, that's a steal in comparison to elsewhere.. good news, I am about to book an app't with my mechanic for late next week to start actually digging into this. I have had tons of advice to diagnose the problem before buying parts for it, so I think that's the route we'll go. Apparently, there are several things that could be wrong, with the actual controller/interface being the most likely culprit, but not the definitive one yet.

If we need that piece, then I'll be calling your guy, that's for sure and I REALLY appreciate that tip, bro! [8D]

 

OK, today I am right excited! I sold my guitar amp last night and now have a good chunk of change set aside for this repair. I have booked an app't for tomorrow with my mechanic and the fun begins!

I think I'm an idiot. For some reason, the concept of spending money on this car to repair or replace non-functioning items is something that brings me GREAT joy. I was just talking to a buddy of mine here at work, and he was looking at me funny... "I'd rather spend money on modifying my car than FIXING stuff!" I understood exactly what he meant, but for us, the big joy is in returning the uber fabulous car to it's original glory. The thought of having a completely functional and working climate control system has me giddy with glee today.

This is our first big step on the road of restoration. We have done a few, very minor, maintenance type things since we got the car, but this is the first big item to tackle for us.

The other thing; I am amazed at how reliable this car has been so far! For an uber outrageous sports car, I hop in her every morning and think nothing of it! OK, enough rambling.....

 

give these guy a call. they repaired my digi dash, and they do other ac delco work. thankfully they're right down the road from me. if they dont do it, maybe they know of someone that repairs those CC units.

Awesome, thanks bro! I'll put that into the "tickle trunk" for if/when we find it needs work, which I am 99% sure it will.

I just got my first call on the issue from my mechanic... apparently the AC compressor was unplugged? Not connected? I'd prefer to remove the thing entirely, but he said it was an integral part of the whole system and he is going to look into it further. Oh boy, I'm on pins and needles here waiting for word.....

 

You might also try this guy, Everything Corvette, had some success getting some parts from him. [8D]

 

Thanks bro! Just sent a note to them....

OK, so here's the big update. Everything went very very well with the fix last week. The controller now completely responds to user input and everything is working as it should, EXCEPT, the Heater Control Valve has gone south somewhat. It is very weak and we put a very small spring on it to try and help it return to it's "outward" position. GM doesn't make them anymore and I am trying to find one. I have sent a note to these Everything Corvette folks that mech259 mentioned... anyone else have any ideas? Any help appreciated.
