Ok tried to start my 2004 C5 today. The battery was dead. I put a charger on it and started right up after a few minutes except my front headlights won't go on. They popped up but no lights. running lights and tail lights all work. any ideas??? I checked the fuse looks good. Just put a battery Tender on it for tonight to see if it helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Low battery will cause all kinds of crazy stuff on these cars. Charge the battery and check the volts to see if it will hold a charge. I had a battery on my truck die after just 6 months it lost a cell already.
