2003 Anniversary Edition - with 2000 miles elect problems.
I have a 2003 6 speed convertible anniversary edition corvette. I'm new here as a sustaining member of this site and feel privileged to be here. I hate to start out my new experiance here with a problem I need help with but here it is...
This corvette has sit in my garage for the last decade. I keep the car in a climate controlled garage. About two months ago I started up the car to take it around the block and warm up after sitting for six months. Delco battery started puking and made a mess above the computer and frame rails, of which I propmtly cleaned up and repainted. Then I took the car out for a drive- As soon as I hit about 25 miles per hour the "service abs, traction control and active handling" fault started blinking on the dash read out. I promptly tool the car home and looked online and found a way to clear the codes and identify the fault code. The fault code was RF wheel sensor fault. I promptly replaced the RF Wheel sensor and all wires to the LF and RF wheels. Cleaned all the grounds and computer contacts. Still ... Car resets when stopped them when you take off, light all quiet, then when you hit 25 mph, dash lights up with "service abs, traction control, and active handling".
I know I'm now grasping for straws but, bottom line, car set for several months, out of the blue this problem started and the car only has 2000 miles.
Any ideas, clues or suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum! 
Are you positive that your battery incident left no consequences? Did you completely neutralized the acid all the way down and within the cable bundles before repainting?

Yes, I even came back today and checked the looms and computer connections and motherboard. All clear...

Take the car for a ride. When you get the TCS lights ON pull over and pull the codes BEFORE you shut off the engine. You will need to use the reset key to clear any messages in the DIC but once there is NO MESSAGE in the DIC pull the codes as normal. Write down ALL of the codes and post ALL of them back in this thread. Include the H or C or HC that follow each 5 character code.
