Default help C6 Z06 issues

I just got an 07 Z06. She runs great and all, but randomly and for a long period, when I hit the start button>>>> she acts as if the battery is dead> I can hear the start solendoid click< but nothing happens.


every once in a while she will crank as if nothing is wrong at all.

I have just changed the battery and it does the same thing.



Any help deeply appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be exact,

I press in the clutch, and I hit the start button. The car clicks and appears to have Zero POWER. Once I release the clutch, the cluster lights come on, the gages cycle. If I attemp to cltcuch and press the start button again, the cycle repeats.

Once in a blue moon she will just fire right up, I am losing my mind!

Check the battery connections. I have a c5z and when I first got the car the connection was a bit flaky. It could also be a battery on it's way out.

If that's good then start going to each ground to check them.
