Default Changed to Carb PLEASE READ

I changed to a carb and now have a couple of problems.
1- The rear hatch keeps popping open by itself?
2- The electronic heater has no power?
3- The ABS light is staying on?
Any help would be great!

Hatch pooping would be due to a bad switch on one of the door pannels, when you go over a bump, POOF!

did you see tht commercial where the owner of the car bought the wrong insurance, and the keys fly out of the ignition, and the tire goes flat, and the door locks on the guy? The sunroof opens during a car wash?
well, you put a carb on it, and it's trying to tell you it wants it's injectors back

A cry for help! You may have crimped a wire, disconnected a ground or opened a fuseable link (in that order of likelyhood). I'm not sure what you mean by electronic heater (climate control?) Check your fuses for open, and then for power to them. then I'd start with one problem at a time and track it down.
