OK, so we finally know what was wrong. We changed the CCM(body control module) purchased used from a Corvette dealer and everything started working!
Of course now I have to send mine out to be repaired so I can preserve the super low mileage, only about 15,000 and of course all the options that these cars come with. The unit we put in was from a 92 LT1 with high miles. Had to use a resistor for the Vats, until my unit gets rebuilt. Definitely going to do a vats delete at that time.
Thank you everyone who shared valuable knowledge with me. Still don't know what caused it to go bad, maybe the rebuilder will have an indication of what happened!
All the best, Ed
I'll post the results of the rebuild as soon as I get the info.

So I had the CCM (body control module) repaired so I could preserve the low mileage and vin # but unfortunately the repair did not work once it was plugged in. The engine would turn over but no dash lights and no start. The repair company did refund my cost but now I'm stuck with a CCM that shows 117,000 miles when the actual is under 16,000. Luckily the car is running but I've got to find a way the correct the mileage and vin. Any suggestions? I of course still have the original CCM that didn't get fixed.

If you don’t mind, where did you send you ccm for programming? Did they indicate why their programming didn’t take? I have been looking for a new GM ccm as I thought I had one in my extra parts . I may can get you a new ccm if you have access to someone that can program it locally with your car. I have one on order and when it comes in, I can let you know if it is new gm as dictated . Where are you located? I’m on the mobile app and can’t see your location.

My original CCM was sent to G7 computers in New York, but unfortunately the repair did not work and they refunded my money. I have now placed an order with Dino's Corvette Salvage and he has a guy who can enter the correct mileage and vin. At this time I am waiting for it to arrive and hopefully all will be good again. I am located in New York.

Let me know how Dino's works out. He bought a lot of my LT5 NOS stuff back in 2014 when I downsized, wish I had kept more of it now.
