Battery cable?
Needing a little guidance from my fellow 'Vette lovers. I have an 06 C6 and recently got the "service charging system" warning light. It was then followed by nearly every other warning light - traction control, active handling, anti-lock brakes, etc. Finally, I was simply warned to "service vehicle soon." I have had to replace the battery twice over the past year and have had persistent problems with my key fob. The owner of a Corvette repair shop had told me that he thought my battery cable was bad. When I replace the last battery a few weeks ago, I also had the end of the cable replaced. But something is still wrong. The key fob barely works, and I've got warning lights going off...Please give me some guidance...

Check the connections at the starter. Seems to be a pinch point for voltage from the Alt.
I just replaced the main cable coming from the Alt with a larger 1/0 cable going to the power take off under the fuse box cover.
Look in the tech section for Billit tech Alt. Good info there. I have their 170A alt.
