Yes he does. It's at the dome light timer. He has indicated that his timer has dust in it. The door buttons are grounded through the dome light timer when the doors are open. with a non-functioning timer, the buttons won't work.
But, the center console button should have still worked with the park brake set (manual) or in P or N (auto trans).

All four of my ZR-1 are sticks and both the Drivers door and consul
switch will release the hatch without the parking break on.
Only 4 ZR-1's?
ZR-1 or not, the
door button(s) are not affected by the park brake. They work any time a
door is open. Only the center console button is affected by the park brake
being applied. I looked at an 85, 88, 91 and 95 Helms manual just now.
All 4 of those years is wired the same. Park brake has to be applied
for the console button to be operative with a manual transmission, or in Park or Neutral for an automatic transmission..
