1996 corvette wont start need help

I shut the car of to render honors and when I jumped back in wouldn't start. No power to.the cluster gauges radios climate control. Unable to pull codes as no power there either. Won't turn over. There is power to the alt gauges. The security system lights don't light up or flash either. I believe I properly bypassed the vat system. Had 4.75 resistance in the key chip and set up resistors to bypass. Still no power at the cluster gauges. Any ideas??

I had something similar recently, turn the key to the first position, everything lights up as it should, turn it further to start and all I got was a click and everything dies,all the lights go out, total shutdown..it turned out to be the main power lead to the battery was very slightly loose in the clamp on the battery, tightened the two screws on the clamp and its been fine ever since..

Check you battery terminals, they can strip easily.

Check fuses.

Check grounds.

Make sure you do not have any wiring issues with the bypass set up.

Replaced the tumbler from dealer with new key. Still won't turn over co power at ccm 2 fuse radio fuse courtesy light fuses. Power at ccm 1 and 3 fuses. I believe it may be the CCM.
