According to my Chevy dealer, my 2005 manual Corvette with 53k miles will not start. I took the vehicle to them after a local repair shop said the battery needed replacement but still would not start. Their diagnostics revealed multiple electronic code errors. They recommended the local Chevy dealer since they have more advanced diagnostics they could run. The Chevy service department said that all they could do is start replacing computer and electrical parts but that it would be extremely costly. I have suffered the electrical problems that this blog and others that 2005 manual Corvette owners have experienced like:

1. No Fob Detected (batteries frequently replaced)

2. Dead Battery Syndrome (DBS)

3. Erroneous Warnings: flat tire (right rear), and airbag fault

4. Service column lock (scl) code on the DIC occurs with high frequency for about 3 years had to disconnect negative cable and wait few minutes.

In 2010, despite replacing the battery two month earlier, the car would not start, a different Chevy service department replaced the under hood electrical fuse block since the circuit test revealed no output to the starter.

Appreciate any input. I am considering selling it for parts or to someone who wouldn’t mind chasing a rabbit down a hole. The car is in very good shape and the LS2 engine runs like a charm.

Thank you.

 

What's the history on it? Did this happen all at once or was it intermittent for a while?

There was a guy on here that used to be really good at helping with issues like this, I think his name was Dano? Sorry, that isn't much help I know. I'll see if I can find his name on here so you can contact him

My first thought was it could be a ground issue. Very common on these cars and causes all kinds of crazy electrical problems like this. I would not start just replacing computers at this point personally until they've checked and cleaned grounds.

edit: his name is @Dano523
