2000 Corvette Driver Information Center stopped working

I am hoping someone can help.
I have a 2000 corvette with automatic trans and 45,000 miles on it.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has always worked fine, but recently it went blank. When I drove the car a few days ago the DIC was blank. I started the car the next day, the DIC worked fine. After that all subsequent starts/drives, the DIC has been blank.
All other gauges, lights, radio, heat/air, cruse, wipers, and power items work.
I checked all the fuses inside and under the hood of the car. They all look fine (none actually seem to be identified for the DIC). I disconnected and reconnected the battery but the DIC is still blank.
I read somewhere that dampness on or around the BCM could cause the DIC to malfunction. But everything is dry.
A Corsa exhaust, VaraRam VR-B2 ram air system and a performance program, using a Hypertech Power Programmer, was installed about four years ago.
Do you have a suggestion of what the cause of this problem is, and how it can be fixed?

Thanks for your help.

Welcome aboard here Kelvin. You bring up a very good point. I can't answer your question, but I know that when I started looking at purchasing a C5, one of the ones that I test drove did the same thing. I couldn't get it to read anything. I'm hoping that someone here will be able to post a solution to the problem, so that we all can learn from it.

Check chassis and engine grounds.

Thanks. I will check that. Do you know exactly where the Chassis and Engine Ground(s) are located at?:confused

Not off-hand, but they should be easy to spot - except the ones under the engine.
