Default U electronics guys; do I have a problem?

I went out yesterday to the garage to see how my Vette was holding up and when I went to unlock the door with the key fob, it wouldn't unlock. I checked my battery tender and discovered that my battery tender was set for 6 volt, not 12. I know that my jealous wife must have gone out to the garage and did this because I would have never done such a thing. Anyway, Did I hurt anything and what will I have to replace, if anything? The battery is still to low to check if it starts, I have it on charge right now and the inside lights come on as well as the key fob now works. I hope I got lucky with this stupid mistake........Thanks again, you guys are Great!

The most you "might" have messed up is the battery. But, i would say not. You didn t mess your car up with only 6 volts in that battery. .....my .02


Keep us posted when u get it started....

You should be fine!! Recommend that you clear all he DTCs after the battery is charged.
