Default svc abs/trac ctl ,unfixable?

ok, here is the skinny,for the last year i would get a svc abs warning once every week. No problem ,i just reset it.My cars gmpp is running out,so i took it back to dealer to get it fixed. My mechanic is told by gm to replace wiring harness to abs.After he changes that all the codes go crazy,he is then told by gm to replace the guage cluster and now i get the same svc abs traction plus shocks inoperable, ride control dont go over 80mph. My car dosnt have the shock setting option. I think i remember some post about looking at a wire that runs along the brake line,Please i need help on this one since gm or my mechanic dosnt have a clue.

Not sure how to help you other than maybe you need to find another dealer that has some more experience in diagnosing Vettes. Worth a try.

Ask the dealer to have the regional rep take a look at it. This is NOT something you want to let go past your warranty. Get it fixed NOW.
