Default Help, Radio Died

OK... I put my battery tender on my 05 C6 Z51 a couple of weeks ago. I noticed it (tender) did not light up and found a loose connection on positive terminal. Replace a nut that held the eye hook in place and all was fine.


Unplugged her Sunday for a little cruising. DIC shows 14.4-14.5 amps. Radio would not light up or come on. The panel would not come down to access the disk player either. Started and stop the car several times no luck.


I plan to disconnect the battery tonight and see if it will reset. Wish me luck

Disconnecting the battery should fix it.

Hoping disconnecting battery will fix it, too. Theses cars are so sensitive to voltage

Pulled the ground strap off. Waited 3 minutes reconnected and now radio works. Amazing!
