Door won’t open
Hi everyone. New to the forum. I have an issue. So I had a dead battery a few days ago jumped it with no issues. Noticed dash said no fob detected. But I drove it around and it was fine. Went to start it yesterday and dead battery. Got out of the car with the fob and fob won’t unlock door. Went to trunk and opened with key and pulled the cord to open door. Door pops open a little and window is down a little bit the door won’t open. Pushed to door back fully closed and repeated the process with the trunk pull for opening the door. Did the same thing. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum.
When you have a problem with your car, ALWAYS, ALWAYS include the model year of the car. Also, post in the right section of the forum.

OK, so as suggested you should provide more detail about your car to better assist you, but will try...
Need to determine why you have a dead battery (and fix it) & and at a minimum you will need a replacement. Your door is most likely hung up from the window recessed into the rubber trim, so once you pop open the door, you will need to force pull the door open & you shouldn't cause any damage to the glass. If you don't like that option, then jack up the front of the car and place a battery charger positive on the starter solenoid connection and the ground on the ground bolt on the block above the starter. You should then be able to open the door with the FOB.
The C6 is VERY sensitive to a failing battery, so find & fix your battery/charging problem.
Hope this helps.
