You may have a bare wire on the main line touching something when you go over a bump etc, you will have to trace the wire from the radio to the fuse panel. It could well be a bad amp as well.

Default C6 2005 electrical issues

C6 corvette 2005 with 110k miles ... Driving normally at speed limit 40mph from nowhere some lights came to the display abs... Check engine of course... Security light ... Car idle normal .. battery voltage came down from 14 to 13 and it stay like that even with the car running voltage never goes up back to normal .. scan the car and it shows p0300 code which is related to misfire so I assume the spark plugs are the issue but why do the windows doesn't work ? Probably a weak battery? Any response will be a great help a serious response of course thanks in advance... also ..trunk and door switches doesn't work ..

Default C6 2005 electrical issues

Driving normally at speed limit I started to have some messages at the display ...ABS ... check engine light...battery voltage came down from 14 to 12 even with the car running not stopped... I scanned it and it shows code p0300 ... disconnected the battery for half an hour and now I have no radio no ac controls on.. security light stays on and car doesn't open from outside or inside ...key fob battery is new ...trunk doesn't open either ..I came from a p0300 to a party of issues ...maybe a bad battery ...any response will be a good help

Sounds like electrical gremlins related to a weak battery. Swap the battery for a new one and I bet all of this goes away.

Maybe you just don't have enough copies of this thread. Try 2 or 3 more, maybe it will help.

I hope so and yeah I think this issue is related to a bad battery ...bad battery in this cars can cause several issues and lights to come up besides some of the car features won't work as they suppose to ...windows and doors won't work .. voltage will work irregularly ..etc thanks for responding that's what I gonna do tomorrow change the battery

Before you installed it, what was the voltage of the battery when you tested it?
