Default C7 electrical problem

2016 Stingray-no systems working and after replacing battery-limited service. Car won't start, no gauges, no horn, nothing. Pushing start button while holding brake down I get 5 beeps. In acc mode, windows work, parking lights, rear lights, and cargo lights come on. What's going on?

So, you replaced the battery?

Usual problems are:

Loose cable connection. The connections must be made with the wires in the exact position that they came off. If the cable is cocked, the connection might not be firm and the battery fails to supply power.

Did you get any cable arcing when you removed the battery? If yes, you might have blown the 350A fuse on top of the battery.
