It would help if you listed the codes. Sounds like a com error.

Shell,

You sound like you might be experiencing a ground issue or at the least a Connection Plug/Harness is loose. It can possibly be at the Instrument Panel or at the BCM (Passenger footwel, behind the panel under the carpet)

Look here in the Tech section under the ELECTRICAL Sticky
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...tion-long.html

You will learn alot about your Vette here and if you need to contact Bill Curlee - he is the resident guru on Electrical Issues

Thanks,Matt
