Default C7 electric issue?

I’m having issues with my 2016 corvette stingray. The valence window goes down and up right away before I shut the door. When I turn the car off the radio does not turn off and my Bluetooth connection to my phone stays on. The automatic start on the remote and the automatic convertible down button does not work when I press it. What could be the issue?

1) Your radio will not stop playing until you open the door after the ignition is turned off, or you press the radio off button, this is part of the retained power function. Opening the door stops the retained power or it stops after 15 minutes.
2) You have to press the lock button on the remote, then press the remote start button within 5 seconds for the remote start to work.
3) You have to press the unlock button on the remote, then press and hold the top down button within 5 seconds until the top is fully down (keep a death grip on the button for it to work)

I do not understand your description of what the widow is doing so I can't help there.
Have you reindexed your windows to see if that helps?
Is this car new to you? If so all this is outlined in the owners manual.

Try the old standby for an electronic reboot. Disconnect the negative battery cable (be very careful with the small black wire) for 5 or so minutes then reconnect. GL

Lots of information in C7 General | Sticky Threads to read.

Download manuals and Quick Start from Manuals, Reference Material, Online Order Guide, Order Tracking, etc
