Couldn't get my Z06 started tonight. I haven't driven or started it in about 6 days. I went into the garage and turned the key.....the engine turned over about 2 times then started clicking. Had to give it a hot shot. I did leave my radar plugged in and on but, in only 6 days it seems that the battery shouldn't die......or should it? I have about 5300 miles on my '04 Z06. Still brand new.
Any ideas? Also, if I have to take it to the dealer, do I need to remove my mods?(see my sig.)
 
Can't say anything about the battery except to say C5 Vettes are energy intensive cars even when shut off. The spec for leaving the battery connected without needing to run the car is 21 days. If you left something on inadvertently it could certainly have an impact on the battery life.

As for the mods -- there is a new TO out to the dealers concerning aftermarket oiled air filters. There is a thread about it here somewhere. As for the other mods, if they change the intended function I say remove them, like your coolant bypass. Otherwise the dealer might say the mod voids your warranty for that particular aspect of your car.

Others will certainly have other opinions. All of the stuff on my car, with the exception of my K&N air filter, are GM parts or GM approved parts.
