I have a 2000 C5. Recently I drove down a bumpy road and my active handling began to turn on and off rapidly. I was near my destination.
When I returned to the car it would not start as if I had a bad battery. I hit the starter two more times and it started. Displayed service vehicle soon. Ran great all the way home. When I turned the vehicle off in my garage, it displayed low voltage. Has not started since.
Headlights, etc. work but just totally nothing when try to start. Had battery checked, checked appropriate fuses, etc. but nothing.

Anyone encountered anything similar?
Any help appreciated.

Check the wiring connections at the solenoid. Preferably take the wires off and clean the bolts as well as the lug rings before putting it back together.

Very Common issue... The nut on the main solenoid stud gets loose and the connection gets corroded/burnt.

I would also check the main battery terminals. If you can move either one by hand,, tis WAAAAY too loose. The battery terminals bolts should be torque to 11 FT/LBs. If you find them loose, I recommend disconnecting them, inspecting them and then clean the connections and reinstall.
