Click click clik when trying to start
Hi Folks, been a long time.
I have a C6 Z06 2009 and when trying to start it does click click click. I asked the dealer to check the battery but all they did is change the battery in the FOB. In the previous week, it would turn one revolution, die, and start on second try after 3-4 days not using it. Now, I can't start it: click, click, click. Accessories, lights, radio, doors are working fine..
Any ideas?
Second question: if the battery is being changed, would it disable the radio?

Most likely, the battery is dead from sitting too long or just expired (about 6 years old).
Pull the battery and get a good replacement.
This happened to my C6 Z and I had no issues with the radio.

Check with your local Corvette club for dealer/mechanic recommendations.
