Default dead car

This may be in the wrong section. 2002 Corvette My remote unlock is not working, no lights on in the car, turned the key and theres nothing happening at all. Battery problem? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Exact same problem this morning. If nothing whatsoever works, then it pretty much has to be battery or electrical. Mine is a 2001 convertible. Everything was fine yesterday. I had taken it to the coin-op wash but it started fine after that and three times after that until I put it away for the night. It's a brand new Optima Yellow top so the only thing I can think of is I was cleaning the dash - my car has a particular quirk that the radio can plan even without the key in the ignition - previous owner must have changed something. I keep meaning to get it fixed..... anyway, maybe I turned on the radio with no volume and didn't realize it and it drained the battery. It's on the BatteryMinder AGM charger now and we'll see if it comes back. Unless there's a blown relay somewhere or something.

Maybe there's something else but I would check battery first and electrical second. Good luck with yours.
