[QUOTE="Blu427, post: 322580, member: 4977"] Six years ago the door locks on my C5 stopped working and when I removed the door panel I saw a control module with a number of relays on it. A quick Google search showed me which relay was for the lock and gave me the info I needed to order 2 on eBay for replacement. They were very tiny and I was concerned about soldering such a small part to the board. I took it to a local guy who repairs boards and for $20 he soldered it in while I waited. He told me he could pretty much repair any board and that the components were generally easy to access. When a friends A/C stopped working in his 1999 Olds Aurora we determined it was on the control board. A new one was available for $3000, or a used one from the wrecking yard for $400, or $200 to have the board repaired by the guy I had used. So, my point is there definately is hope for early model electronic problems and in most cases they can be repaired. [/QUOTE]
