There may be a corresponding battery concern that could be causing these lockouts. It's best to take your Corvette (if you're able to gain access into it) to a Chevrolet dealership for a diagnosis. As they serve as our mechanical experts, they will be in the best position to determine its cause. Should you need help connecting with one in your area, please email socialmedia@gm.com, using your forum username and thread title in the subject line. We'd be happy to offer support from there.

Yes, I would take it to a dealer, but now my doors won't unlock, the gas door is still locked, the car will not respond to any input. Brand new battery, fresh battery in the key fob, can't load it onto a trailer because I can't shift it to neutral. What is wrong with this Corvette? Help!!

All good information, unfortunately my problem has now progressed to almost "no anything". My key fob makes the car blink when the lock is depressed, but I have nothing else, no lock or unlock occurs, no instrument panel that lights, obviously no start. Its stuck in my garage, unable to move as I can't shift it. I've verified that the little wire on the negative post of the battery is undamaged. I grounded the positive cable to the negative cable before installing a new GM battery which is fully charged. I'm thinking the anti-theft system is at fault.
