Help. Last night driving home. Turn signals, won't work. Gas,temp,oil gauges not working tach and speedo good. Interior lights bad. Radio bad. A/c blows but temp won't work. Hand break light,abs light stays on. No windshield wipers. So basically dash seems to be gone. No tail lights and doors wouldn't open. Anybody have an idea where I could start to look at the problem today? It happened after a hard pull
With all the computers on these cars, you can experience a communication failure between modules. Just disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and reconnect. This will force the computers to reestablish communication. I have experienced similar before just not on the corvette. For the best chance of success, when you reconnect the battery, put the car is key on mode. You do this by holding down at the bottom of the start switch for approx. 8 seconds. Let it sit in key on for one minute and then start it. Hopefully all will be back to normal.
Hope this helps,
Gary

Besides the suggestions already given, you may want to check the Blue connectors under the passenger floor pan. Sometimes, a passenger may push hard on this pan, and disturb the 2 Blue Connectors, and that has been known to cause all kinds of issues, some of which you describe.
A forum member didconncted, made sure the pins were clean and good, reconnected, then use pencil erasers as a shim to prevent the pan from hitting these connectors again.
If you do want to disconnect these Blue connectors, make sure the battery is disconnect first.
