Some Chevrolet Corvette owners report experiencing difficulties accessing their vehicle when the key fob battery is dead and a physical key is unavailable. These owners may find that using the emergency key, if equipped, is a viable solution, as it allows them to unlock the trunk through a keyhole located above the rear license plate. In cases where the emergency key is not accessible, contacting a locksmith can provide assistance in gaining entry without damaging the vehicle. Additionally, visiting a GM dealer with the vehicle's VIN and proof of ownership can help resolve access issues and address the dead battery problem. Some Corvette models also feature a fob reader inside the glove box, which allows owners to start the car by inserting the fob, even if the battery is dead. It's important for owners to promptly address the dead battery issue, as factors like worn buttons, poor battery contact, water damage, or receiver module problems may contribute to key fob malfunction.
