'05 Engine Won't Crank (turn)
Parked the car and everything was fine. Next day, the engine won't crank. Checked fuse, crank/starter relay and they seem fine. Battery is fully charged and there is power to operate windows, etc. Steering column won't lock, though. Any suggestions?

I don't know either. I'm pretty versed on the C-5's but not the C-6's ...but learning. Please tell us what you find. The C-5 has a TDR, Theft Deterrant Relay in the passenger footwell that operates the starter solenoid. You can hear it click when turning the key. If the starter doesn't engage and this relay did, it would have probably been a bad solenoid. I don't have a clue on the C-6 yet....sorry.

This type of problem can sometimes be caused by a faulty clutch position switch/sensor.

I have also seen a Window Valet cause this problem. If you have a WV plugged into the Diagnostic Port, then remove it, discxonnect and reconnect the battery and it should start.
Good luck
