bad window, bad rear window gasket, bad cd player, bad seats....no treat for car
 
I have a non functioning driver's side power window, a non functioning cd player, non functioning sport seats and a bad rear window gasket on my 93 ZR1. Need some direction in terms of; are these fixable by me or can someone recommend a good shop in Maryland?
The last time I started it (about a week ago) I also had a hellacious squealing noise under the hood that got worse when I hit the pedal....eventually went away but should I suspect a bad water pump here?

Window, depends on what the issue is, minimum you need a volt meter to check the switches.

CD player, you can remove it, but suggest sending to dr don for repair www.doctordons.com

What part of the seat is not functioning?

The rear hatch weatherstrip, you can do yourself it's simple. May take 30 minutes at most.

Change your belt recommended belt Goodyear 406085, also listen to the pullies to see if onen has a bad bearing.

The seats don't seem to be pumping up when the appropriate buttons are pushed...no change in seat or any sound, for that matter. Thanks for your reply Jeff.

You can do that fix yourself with a rubber kitchen glove. There is a diaphram that is attached to the plunger that ruptures. Cut the appropriate size from the rubber glove and your in business.

Yep, just did that on the new one. Worked great. There's a good write up on the Registry and the CF.

Thanks for the excellent replies, guys. Sorry I haven't been able to respond sooner...but I was having my first ever experience with an attack of gout. Wow, I discovered whole new levels of pain!
But it is good to find an excellent source for info. Up until I purchased this 93 Z my only experience with vettes has been mid years and the newest vette I ever had before was a 77. The newer ones are a whole new ball game.
Thanks again/
