Default Reverse issue

Newbie here, had my C6 for about 6 weeks, no issues. I backed it up yesterday around a foot to get on more level ground to wash it. An hour later when I went to drive it, I couldn't get it into reverse?

Read the post, not sure it’s the same, nothing I try allows me to get into reverse. I tried forcing it with both hands to no avail. No problems in any gear before yesterday, and all other gears work but reverse. Found a few other post that mentioned the reverse lockout solenoid, thinking of trying it.

Yes and check the power to the solenoid, which was a issue for some. Reverse also has a syncro that was a issue for a few. GL.

I had the same problem. Connector at solenoid was just loose.
