Security system engaged
Ok, ive had the front of my car on the ramps for the last month while replacing the opti. When i got in the car today the security system was flashing. The headlights tried to turn on for some reason - not sure this is relevent but it happened so I'm mentioning it. I tried unlocking the ds door with the key twice to get it to turn off. It would shut off when i put the key in the ignition also. Unfortunately the car will not start, doesn't even appear to have power now with key in on position.
I tried the search on here and i tried the manual with no luck. Battery shows charged.
Any suggestions for my 92 vette?

Ok, cleaned off both battery terminals.
As soon as i open the drivers door the security loght starts flashing and a clicking noise comes from around the radio somewhere. No power to the car comes on. When i try to release the rear deck for the convertible top it makes some clicking noises but won't release it. Lights dont come on, no lights on the dash.
I took the car off the ramps so its level again. Still nothing. I'm stumped.

Ok, it was the battery. Dam thing was new in june 2015, worked fine 6 weeks ago when i parked it to do this work. I just couldn't see the obvious. It's also the first battery ive ever taken in and the meter at the parts store didn't register anything - battery was totally dead. Awesome troubleshooting guys!
