I've narrowed it down to G201 thats causing me to have the crazy gremlins of the electrical world. But I can't seem to locate it, does anyone have a clue as to exactly where it is. I mean how to even get to it, if so pls provide information, thanks

electrical problems

there is a great post on corvette forum on this subject. seems like most of the electrical gremlins can be attributed to corrosion in the body ground connections ,,there are 13 of them i believe. if the grounds are badly corroded you will need a self tapping screwe and lock washer. could be a simple fix

This is the information posted in that link by an expert/master Corvette mechanic:

Use of a star washer under a ground wire connection. In the past, it has been known to use star washers under most ground connections. It was believed using a star washer would improve continuity to ground and prevent the ground fastener from becoming loose. With vehicles built today, star washers are not being used under any ground connection. It has been proven by GM engineering that with a star washer installed, it will increase the chance for corrosion and prevent the terminal from achieving proper torque.

Recommendation/Instructions:
It is recommend NOT to use a star washer on any ground connection to the body or chassis of the vehicle.
