Default Help with no start no electrical

I have a 05-C6, 40, 000K miles.

I went out to start it and take it for a ride yesterday. However, it turned over about a ½ of turn, then started clicking. I had shut the door and was locked in, used the emergency release to get out. Now the door will not close.Hmm!

So, I think I have a dead battery, I charged it up the battery today (says it is fully charged). Then and (now) the car does not have electrical at the dash, no lights, the ignition won't light up even. There is nothing. Any thoughts

Check your battery connections, and starter connections. The connection at the starter solenoid has been known to crack and get loose.
You may find the problem there, but if OK, then replace the battery. Chances are that is the issue, even if it shows charged. I had one with a bad cell that showed charged but was not.

good luck

Yep, battery connections and starter solenoid connections and before you buy a battery connect jumper cables to see if your battery is up to snuff
