Engine start issue
i went to start my 2006 Corvette Coupe this morning. I last drove it last Tuesday. Acted normal. Until I pressed start button. A small click and nothing. Tried several times. Same response. Then said no fob recognized. Got other fob. Then same single click, nothing else.
Dash lights and radio come on. Fobs allowed me to unlock door and get in. Driver Window went down some. Won’t go back up. Neither electric windows will work.
Any ideas??
Harry
could this be a weak battery going bad?

Check the car battery voltage before starting to buy parts 
A jump is reasonable if the voltage is low. 2 1/2 year old battery could fail for sure.
Taking the battery out & to an auto parts outfit for them to load test it is reasonable too based on what you find when you check the voltage.

C6 literally eats batteries, especially for those used in hot climates.
As suggested it can be tested, for free, at most parts stores, but it isn't always accurate.
As I said, my money's on bad battery.
Many members, myself included, use Deltran Battery Tender Plus, there're many decent ones available though.
Trick is using it. Have battery checked and/or replaced.
