C5 is going crazy
My name is aidan and i have a 1997 vette, about 4 weeks ago i removed the seats so it hasnt ran in about 2/3 weeks, i just came back to it and the lights were flashing and freaking out and also making a loud clicking sound from multiple places, which i have a bad alternator and the battery goes dead every month so this is a common occurrence for me (walmart replaces free), but this time it wasnt the battery and it is still doing that, also the car wont start. I can get it to start here and there for roughly about 3-10 seconds but then it shuts off, sometimes the starter just keeps clicking then after a while the starter just wont even make a sound. I read that it could be a bad ignition but what do yall think? If anyone could help that would be amazing

Sounds like you have a parasitic drain if the battery keeps going dead…if you have no mechanical experience and some diagnostic equipment find a competent shop in your area.
