Electrical System Shutdown
I tried to start my c6 and got the message that the fob was missing. It wouldn't start but the aux turned on the dash lights and running lights. I went and retrieved the other fob and found the doors locked and the new fob would not open them. I opened the trunk with the key and released the drivers door. Still could not start car or turn off the lights.
I went out and bought new batteries for the key fob but still nothing.
Now when I closed the drivers door the window went halfway down. Using the trunk release unlatches the door only slightly and cannot be opened. I don't know how I will even get the car towed to the dealership. HELP!

However you get in, get in and open the hood and put a charger on the battery.
Have someone else pull on the door while you pull the release in the trunk. If you have a coupe, then you also can crawl all the way in and pull the floor release for either door.

Thanks for all the replies. After about 30 minutes of trying I finally was able to get the door release handle by the drivers side seat to open the door. Put a charger on the battery and everything works now. Letting it run for a while and then going for new battery.
Thanks again.
