Urgent. Camaro has no power

Went to an auto zone to pick up some items...

When I came back out to car, unlocked it via fob.
Inserted key in ignition, nothing came on. Center console doesn't turn on. No power to the car. Couldn't even open the trunk with the push button. Had the battery tested by store employee. Battery is still good. A buddy of mine came out to jump my car, nothing.

This car is basically a brick.

It's a 2014 zl1.

Most auto insurance cover towing to the nearest dealer..... I would look to the starter first and any thing ...grounds, fusible link, etc but hey ..... it should not have to be your worry ......

The last time something like that happened with a vehicle that i owned it was a bad alternator....but i dont think that would be it since they told you the battery was good. My next thing would be the battery connection.

May not have been in park all the way. Did you try pulling on the wheel and shifter?

Turns out a bolt holding down the ground wire came loose and was creating an arc/spark. Not sure how it came undone as I have never touched this bolt in the time I've own this car.

The tow truck driver found it. Located near the battery.
