My C6 Z06 won’t start.
Hi, recently bought a Z06, I haven’t had the car for very long, and one day the car just died. Took it to a shop a corvette owner recommended and they promised a diagnosis and that they will take care of the problem. 3 weeks after and a new battery, starter, alternator and $1200 I picked up the car and it was working fine but didn’t last long because a week after the car died again. I don’t really want to take the car back to the same guy, I feel like I can’t trust that guy and I’m looking for a good mechanic. While I do that I was wondering if there is anything I can do or any test on my own that might help me identify the issue,
Thank you in advance,
Tommy Delgado

Replaced all those parts to the tune of $1,200 & still issue persists.
Just damn, sorry to hear & I mean that.
Would really help w/ MY & miles, Tommy.
Loose ground(s)?
Bad fuse box/wiring?
ECM?
Something stupid simple like clutch switch, or not?
Yes, need to locate an electrical specialist for this I'm afraid.
One w/ an understanding of C6 and capable of using an OBDII to trace & confirm what is & isn't going on.
Finding the right guy this can be solved, might try asking for referrals from local Corvette Clubs BTW.
Many C6 owners will thank you for solution, so please post resolution.
As C6 ages this kind of crap will happen more often, crap not 'in the book'.
Post updates please & G/L.

So, no codes/check engine light, just wouldn't start? Wild guesses, but the starter switch on the dash might be intermittent. Easy and cheap replacement, but this is a wild guess which I don't like doing.

I've always assumed that when someone says their "car died" that they mean that their engine suddenly stopped running.
...or did it fail to crank? We really need to know in order to help you.
I know if my Z06 sits in the garage for a week or ten days, without being on a tender, new battery or not, it will probably not crank.
