My 05 C-6 has starting issues usually in the mornings. Any ideas?

A little more detail would help but first guess is weak battery.

"Starting issues" is just too vague for us to give any meaningful help...

Without knowing any details, step 1 is to get your battery load tested.
If that's fine, then look at the battery connections. If that's OK, then look at the starter connections, especially the solenoid connections. If your running headers, the heat causes the connectors to become brittle and crack.

Other than that, can't help anymore
Good Luck

sorry...more specific. When i try the starter button (mornings only so far) if it does not respond, I go back to off and then start again. Usually works. If not I disconnect the negative on the battery and it will start.

The starter button does nothing. All else is working. I try start, if that does not work, I go back to "off" and then to start. Usually works. If not, disconnect the negative on battery and it will start. So far....
