Default big problem with my c6 ?

it all seems to have started when a valet left my car in 1st for two days. they had to jump start it to get it running.

i didnt notice anything right away, it would start up fine and drove great.

a day later my right front blinker did not work, the car sat for a week after that.


then it was a little hard to start, and when i would open the door the window will drop down two inches then stop.


and when i got in the car it said no fob detected
and when i tried to start it the battery was dead and when i jumped started it the "service column lock" came on.

the diagnostic center on the car says i have 0 tire psi in three of the tires

any body know what is wrong with this car?

I am no expert but I would be inclined to think that in the process of jump starting the car there was a surge in the electrical system that may have damaged one or more of the numerous processors located in your C6.

That is only a guess on my part, I would have a complete diagnostic done to check for any damage.

Good Luck!

You have a simple case of dead battery syndrome. Put a charger on your battery for a few hours and you'll be back in business. After you're up and running again you'll need to reset your windows for indexing. (Instructions are in your owner's manual.)

You left it with a valet.

Buy a new battery or charge up the old one.

$10 or 20 to the valet ususally gets you an up front space and you park it yourself.
