(RAP) should be active.
.The trunk lid must be closed. If it is not,
a DIC message will display.
.At cooler outside temperatures, the
convertible top may not operate. It is
possible to open the top down to
temperatures of about 0 °C (32 °F) and
close the top down to temperatures of
about
−10 °C (14 °F). A DIC message will
display if the top will not operate due to
low temperature. If necessary, move the

76 Instruments and Controls
Power Outlets
There are two accessory power outlets:
Interior Power Outlet
Underhood Power OutletThe outlet under the glove box can be used
to plug in electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone.
Lift the cover to access and replace when
not in use.
The power outlet under the glove box is
powered when the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or until the driver door is
opened within 10 minutes of turning off the
vehicle. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0 193.
The underhood outlet is powered at all
times. The vehicle battery may run down if
the power outlet is used while the ignition
is off. Use this power outlet for plugging in
the battery maintainer, if equipped.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
underhood outlet. Do not leave electrical
equipment plugged in when the vehicle is
not in use because the vehicle could
catch fire and cause injury or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 amp
rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation instructions
included with the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0227.
It is recommended that a qualified
technician or dealer be seen for the proper
installation of your equipment.

Trunk
Liftgate
Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset and should
need no further adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a crash, the
headlamp aim may be affected.
If adjustment to the headlamps is necessary,
see your dealer.
Bulb Replacement
LED Lighting
This vehicle has all LED lamps. For
replacement of any LED lighting assembly,
contact your dealer.
Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the current load
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses protect power devices in the vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse
needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
15342622) - 2022 - CRC - 5/4/21
Vehicle Care 253
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and
rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to
replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the lamps go on and
off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy
snow or ice may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using the
windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get
it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by fuses. This
greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked
with their ampere rating. Do not exceed
the specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use
of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can
result in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or killed.

254 Vehicle Care
{Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM’s original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
See Accessories and Modifications 0229 and
General Information 0229.
To check a blown fuse, see Electrical System
Overload 0252.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is behind
the glove box. The glove box can be
accessed by unlatching the door damper and
squeezing the pivot to release the damper
ring. Pull the glove box bin side walls in to
release the door stops. Then turn the door
until the hinge hooks release from
hinge pin.
To Access:
1. Open the top cover.
2. Remove the top cover by pushing inward on the latch.
3. Pull the cover upward.
To Install: 1. Insert the tabs on the back of the cover into the slots in the instrument panel.
2. Align the clip with the slots in the instrument panel.
3. Press the cover into place.
See your dealer if additional assistance is
needed.
