Igniton cylinder lock

The shifter control for the transmission is probably worn, so the connection to the electronic control switch is not making contact to be able to release the key,if your shift handle is loose from pushing and pulling, that may be the problem.

1987 corvette electric rear window release wiring diagram

You need to check using a multimeter on the solenoid for the operating voltage when the relay clicks on activating. If there is voltage then the solenoid is faulty and if not the relay contact points have burnt out and so does not give the connection for switching the voltage.In either case get yourself a multimeter or a 12 volt park lamp bulb to check the voltage on the solenoid.

1987 corvette starts and runs smooth. 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts down like the key was turned off. Alt. tested and was bad. Replaced alt. Battery tested. Failed test and replaced it. Still quits...

This sounds like you may have an ignition module failing. Run it and when it dies, have some one crank it while you check for spark. If no spark is found, replace the ignition module. This piece runs about $75. Not too bad relatively. Let me know what you find.

I have a 1995 Corvette and it won't come out of park

Hi, It is possible that the fuse is blown but more likely that the release solenoid either has a loose harness connection, or is failing. You can tell quite easily by listening closely while you press the brake without the engine running but with the key in the run position. You should hear a dull clicking sound at the head of the shift console. If you do than you'll have to open it up and check it's operational capabilities. and the connections. If you don't hear it then it could very well be a relay also. Can you remove your key alright? Because that is tied in with the lockout system.

Take care

I have a 1987 corvette and the service engine soon light comes on intermitently. It will disappear and then reappear.

If you take it to a "Autozone", or some other parts stores do it too. They can put a scanner on your car and tell you why the service engine soon light is coming on. Even though the light goes off the computer will store information that can be scanned.

How to change the wiper blades on 1987 corvette which has the pin mechanism, and not apparent release? Any ideas?

fist turn on ignition and then turn on wipers untill they are up out of their resting place then turn off ignition. now actually you should be able to slide the blade off of the pin. if not then spray some wd40 in where te pin and spring is. now get a small screw driver and push down on the spring in the center of the blade and then you should be able to pull the blade off.
Good luck
