Default Warning lights & no start problem

I have a 2015 Corvette with manual shift that has 2 problems that the dealership can not fix after several attempts. The first problem started about a year ago while driving every warning light possible came on at the same time obviously everything didn't go bad at the same time the car was running fine after a few miles the lights go off this has happened about a half dozen times. The second problem started a few months later, while trying to start the car nothing happens and the push the clutch in to start vehicle comes on which of course I was doing. To get the car to start I have to let up on the clutch push it down again push the start button again and keep repeating this process many times and eventually it will start. When the dealership scans the car no problems show up.

There is a switch that the clutch pedal hits into when depressed
in order to be able to start the car. Sometimes the button on the switch can go bad or be misaligned. If so easy fix.

First prob is probably gonna be a ground. Make sure battery cables are tight and check the grounds Next to the engine drivers side. I didn't get the grounds good when adding a catch can and the car went into meltdown like you are describing...
