Dreaded Electrical Gremlin
I've read lots of posts on electrical problems, but I just can't seem to find mine. When driving down the road for some reason I just loose traction control and ABS. It happens a lot when I hit a bump or something. I've cleaned the to major ground points behind the headlights that didn't seem to help at all.
Anyone else have any ideas? Wheel sensor problem maybe? I don't know I'm grasping at straws to find the answer. I want to take the vette to a track event, but I don't want to loose abs in the middle of a turn.

Make sure all plugs are good and fuses are fully seated. I had a problem shredding belts for a while. I had a problem with my TCS and found that the when the belt shredded, it did the weed eater dance on my power harness to my EBCM. I stripped and soldered the wire and all was good. Check everything you know. Wheel sensors, plugs, wires going to every component.

You're not looking very hard bro, that same problem is brought up at least twice a week on the tech forum, and probably 50% + C5 owners have experienced it at one time or another.....especially those who drive there cars year round. Check your DTC..and post your codes...it will help you isolate the problem
