Default Help!!! Major wiring problems

i have a 95 chevrolet 1/2 silverado Z71 for my DD. about 3 months ago the ABS light started coming on and off frequently and didnt think to much of it then one day i noticed that when the ABS light is on i dont have cruise control, no blower motor for the heat or air,and my truck will not shift into overdrive. Now then the light comes on and stay on for a week or so then off for a week or so then back on and so on! i recently put on a remote start about 6 months prior to know and had it unhooked today but the light is still on! any suggestions?

Unfortunately, remote starter add-on kits do have a tendency to cause problems with the later GM products,(the reason I never got one) but you may have some other problem entirely. Hopefully you've got an owner's manual. Hidden in the back there's a section on the THREE(actually four, but we won't get into that right now)fuse-box, and breaker terminal panels for your truck.

Check out anything labeled for your CC, and other systems you're having trouble with carefully.

Then start checking carefully under your dash for any loos wiring or bad grounds.

Welcome to the club, we're giving out jackets, I'm trying to find my power window wiring problem as we speak. Mines an 04 Silverado, but I'm not taking any chances, the negative battery cable and the engine to firewall ground strap were the first things to go. When your cables start going bad, many times they start shutting down systems in your vehicle, one by one, by denying a solid ground path to the circuit.
