Default Please help!!!

I have a 03 Z06 and yesterday I put the gauge bezels in and started my car every thing is good. Today I went to start the car and it would not even turn over the power locks are coming on and off and the fuse box on the pass side floor is making noise. Anybody have any ideas.
Thanks mike

The clicking/noises you hear are typical and indicative of a nearly dead battery....don't worry about that, focus on why it might be dead a day later.

First thought, check the rotary dimmer switch and make sure you didn't click it on to the dome light position.

Thanks Y2Kvert4me, That was it I put a charge on it for a little while and it fired up. Time for an optima. I have not seen a car act like that when the battery was low.

Default I did same last week

I did the exact same thing last week, ending with dead battery. We must be doing something wrong when removing or installing dimmer.
