Need Help. Electrical Issues
A little background first.
I just had a leak fixed at a Corvette shop about a month ago. No electrical issues before then.
I'm driving home last week doing about 75 on the freeway, I go over an expansion joint and the lights on my driver's side window and lock switches go out and the windows don't work. I go over another expansion joint and the lights come back on and the windows work. This happened about 4 times. Soon after, i hit another expansion joint and the ABS light goes on, then the Reduce Power, Traction Control Malfunction, Tire pressure, Service Soon etc. light up my dash.
I'm thinking that the shop possibly didn't connect a ground correctly?
I read Bill Curlee's Electrical sticky so I think it's probably a bad ground.
My question is, when the rear end is dropped to fix a leak, are there or how many electrical connections are unplugged? Just trying to narrow my bad ground search.
Thanks
JC

I think I know what may be going on.
First, pull your codes and post.
Telling us you had a leak fixed does not give us any info on the last work done. Please clarify.

A lot of people tend to blame the last shop that touched there car no matter what the problem and how long it's been.
"Ever since you" fixed my brakes, my ac blows warm air.
