Need help quick 2015 power issues
2015 Stingray. Doors do not open. Pass side will engage and window will index. Driver side dead. Car will not start. Fobs work to lock/unlock. Battery recently replaced. I was getting green light on start button. Now dead. I'm at a friend's house and I don't have my meter to check battery voltage.

Update. Battery installation was not done right. Pos not tight. Car is running. Only failure now is driver's side window does not work. Ideas?

Update to the update. Driver door and window now working. Getting service alarm and service axle messages. I think the battery is low on charge. Reading 13v on display. Car is still running.

With the motor off and after 20 min or so for everything to shut down a charged battery should be 12.6 v.
With the motor running, voltage will vary from almost 15V (low battery) to 13 v (charged battery).
Make sure that the small black wire is attached to the negative battery cable clamp. This is necessary for proper battery charging.
A low battery has been known to cause network communications errors on startup - they seem to manifest as rear axle error messages.

Hopefully it is just the battery. A good change may correct all your issues.
