    Hello

    Tried to get the car out of storage and noticed the alarm fob wasn't doing anything and the alarm LED wasn't blinking. Found a blown anti-theft fuse and replaced it and car started and was fine. A couple days later the same problem and now it blows a new fuse immediately when I plug in a fuse, don't even have to turn the key on.

    Any suggestions before this thing cost me a arm and leg to tow to the dealer?

    Found the problem, the alarm siren underneath the passenger side headlight was causing the short. Just disconnected it and the fuse stop blowing and car starts fine now!

    Sounds like your battery is going bad in the siren. Replace it with the Corvette siren to save some $$$.
