Default 1995 Vette- frist time ever it won't start

Bought my 1995 Torch Red Vette 5 years ago. 24,000 miles when I bought it, now 32,000 miles. All original. Not a mark on it. Looks like new. Pulled it out of the garage today to wash it before going for a ride(first time I washed this year). Car started right up, pulled it out, washed it. Was going to go for a ride to blow off the water spots. Dash lit up, would not turn over. Battery is great as head lights flip up and turn on. Dash lights up. Nothing from the engine- dead. Thoughts????

I have an '85-so it's different. But when that happened to me it was the Ignition Control Module. It's a cheap easy part on mine. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Check battery voltage. Headlights will come on with low volts, but not enough to start.

Is the security light on the left steady on when you turn the key to ON? It should be off at that point. But if it is on, then VATS has activated.

IF the security light is off, then possibly the starter (starter solenoid) may be bad.

Neutral safety switch or clutch switch not allowing to start?
