take the battery from the stique or the trans-am and put it in the 6000.  might have to tie it down/shove it in, but it should work (well, maybe not the alternated post battery in the contique). and if you still want that light to light up, wire from a 12volt power source (may need resistor/fuse to the lamp, or just hook some small watch batteries up to it and a small switch,,, if you really care that much to have it lit up).

Well! We live and we learn.  I know how you fill though and all you can really do is laugh it off and start over. Let us know what you find, if you do look into this further.

Pull the brown relays in the underhood box and see if it stops. One is activated by the ignition switch which kicks the other one on. They turn the computer, fuel, and ignition systems on/off. Maybe they are fried or still being fed power. 95s are a nightmare if you have not had the wiring harness replaced. My harness blew out the ABS 3 times.

I think the problem is in the gauges themselves. If I pull the ABS bulb (which I have) everything works fine, but if the ABS bulb is in, then it's messed up. Make sense? No. I think I might buy new gauges and see if that fixes it.

This sounds very possible, given the statment from your original post about this problem. You could have just fried the gauges and this may be causeing misinformation to be sent to the PCM. I would think it is possible.

pulling the buld fixes it..
that is not strange.. we are on to something..
Okay... if you pull the bulb, then there is no current path for the electricity, and that electricity is not making it to the short, wherever that may be...
putting the bulb in allows current through the bulb and on to your problem area...
SO...
get a wiring diagram, and the problem is AFTER your abs bulb, electronically.. IE.. trace from the power source, to the bulb, then follow that wire out...
Hopefully??

Re-check that you correctly un-did your previous mod.
Make sure none of the "paths" for the electricity crosses where it's not supposed to.
Did you solder the mod?? If so, you may have damaged the circuit paths and that's what's causing the problem.
I'd still unhook the battery for about 2 hours to truly clear all the codes.
