Default c6 problems

Ok so i am totally stuck. I have a 08 corvette that was wrecked and only had body panel damage thats it. I currently do not have any of the body pieces on except the doors and rear hatch. I am trying to get the car to cut on so I can adjust the doors and move it. When i close the doors the green light on the ignition switch will cut on but go out shortly after. When i hit the button to crank it with fab in car i just hear a click battery is charged. Does anyone have an idea on what this could be?

What does charged mean. Just because it shows 12 volts doesn't mean it's good or will start the engine. Have you had a charger on it? If your not sure take it to an auto supply shop that will check it for you.

The car will start with the hood off. You may have a bad contact or a dead battery or a bad fob.

Foot on the brake or clutch in? Are you sure the switch is working?
And yes a full battery to start is needed.
