There was problems with wiring harness connector on the ABS control unit (I think it's near the battery ). Could check that out .
If not that could be a faulty CIM .

Take it the plug into back of instrument cluster was ok. when you had it out ? An over charging alternator would give you other signs like cooking the battery and giving off fumes , blowing bulb filaments etc.The dashboard fault is very common on that car .

Possibly alternator is faulty ,will give you all those symptoms,also make sure your ignition switch is ok,no free play in it.
