Title: Where is the Tone Generator in an '84
Post by: RJ7868 on June 03, 2011, 10:59:54 PM

To all the gurus out there, does anyone know where the Tone Generator may be located? And/or what does it look like?

My 1984 has just started thinking that when the lights are on and driving along, it thinks I have left the lights on and the engine has been turned off.

The constant "ding, ding, ding, ding" is driving me mad.

:mad::mad::mad:

The only way away from the noise is turning the volume up and up on the stereo.

Check this out RJ  http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129703

Also this http://members.shaw.ca/agent86/Chimes.pdf

And this for an 86  http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/JHoop/2008-03-01_004716_Pages_from_vette_components.pdf  (No pictures included but the words describe location)


Basically they all seem to refer to a blown fuse, in the fuse panel, for the gauges.  But I suggest that you read all the above links

Not as yet. I need to find some time away from work and do this. I WILL let you know, if I fix it and what I found, as I know one other Corvette owner with the same issue.

Thank you for your help.

did you end up finding and fixing it ???
If not it is down the steering column next to the screw that holds the ignition barrell in place
