Default 09 c6 zo6 hit the start button and nothing

On my z06 when you hit the start button its nothing, then after a few seconds everything comes on but there is a ticking coming from in the fuse block under the hood,(#44 powertrain ign 1) so we changed it and it's still doing it? Help please i have checked all fuses relays and grounds and can not figure this out.

I hope it just a loose or dirty connector, but it sounds like you need a new battery. Many have found that a discharged battery will often fail to take (or hold) a good charge. It happened to me once, and a new battery was the answer.

new battery, new terminals just picked it up from D3 in Houston,tx while it was there they must of done something to cause this cause it didn't do that when we took it there, and at one point they told us they had to get a new key fob cause ower fob wasn't working but they never told us about starting issue which it must have had and they just thought it was key fob

This may not be you but there have been several threads on here with the same problem. Seems like they are all the same fix...... You're not pushing the clutch pedal down far enough. I know you don't believe me but it's usually the fix. Seems as though as the car gets a bit older you need to push it just that extra 1/4 inch and you're not used to doing it that way.
Good luck with your fix!

I've had the computer get all pissy before when I was disconnecting the battery. disconnect the negative terminal and let it sit for a minute or so and see if that helps.
