Default Electrical Problems?

So I took the Z06 to the grocery store and I noticed the passenger window wouldn't come back up. Clearly the window motor went out.

Anyway, on the drive back home the service active handling and traction control screen appeared. Wonderful. Now for the best part - shortly after that my radio went out, the service engine soon light kicked on along with "reduced power", the fuel gauge went to 0, and the drivers side window wouldn't kick on. I scrolled through the display and nothing came up under MPG.

Right as I'm pulling in my driveway the radio kicks back on along with the fuel gauge. Driver window works now but passenger is still not functioning.

What is going on here?

I agree. Also check your battery and starter connections.

Will do. Also wanted to say when I attempted to close the passenger window again the button lights kicked off.

Check out the accordian tubes in the doors for shorting wires.
