Default DIC does not work windows do not work

Bought the car not long ago. All of the sudden DIC does not function and windows do not work. Installed new battery, new cable ends, checked all fuses. Engine compartment grounds all cleaned and good. New ignition switch. I'm stumped. Before it was intermittent after I would shut off car they might come back on. At one time HVAC would also go out but not anymore.

Any effect if you manipulate the accordion full of wires while the driver's door is open?

Have you checked for codes, might give a clue as to what's going on.

If you are not savvy on how to sort out electrical/mechanical issues, find a shop that is. Contact your local Corvette Club for recommendations. JMHO

If his DIC does not work he will need a scan tool to check codes, when the DIC goes out it is usually because one or more of the buttons has lost its spring action and has caused the chip in the instrument panel to fail
Thee fix is to replace the instrument panel and buttons
That has nothing to do with the windows not working

No codes on the scanner and you cant pull up codes on dash either.

Default Still no amswers

This was sporadic but whatever it is the DIC and door/windows are a related problem. They both only happen at the same time. Going to check the ground in driver footwell and may even run another ground as well. Then I will check voltage at fuse that controls these.
