Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Corvette owners report experiencing battery issues, including losing charge and unusual noises upon starting, even after installing a new battery. These problems may stem from a defective battery, as evidenced by cases where faulty batteries were replaced under warranty. Additionally, after a battery change, some owners encounter messages like "service rear axle" and malfunctioning infotainment screens, suggesting potential electrical system malfunctions. Ensuring that all positive connections are secure and properly tightened is crucial to avoid a dead cockpit following a battery replacement. In some instances, the car may crank without starting, indicating possible underlying issues such as starter or electrical problems. Furthermore, extreme temperatures can adversely affect battery performance, leading to charging difficulties. It is advisable for owners to have the new battery inspected for defects, verify secure connections, and check for other mechanical issues if starting problems persist.
