Check all Fuses?
Speedo Cable? The Vehicle Speed Sensor feeds the ABS ECM. ABS WSS codes usually in the 30's

I've been utilizing the wiring diagrams found here :

The CC isn't going to work if the speedometer isn't working. P0500 is no VSS to the ECM/ECU (whatever you want to call it). Which indicates to me that the ECU/ECM is totally fine.
I'm not throwing any ABS codes, I've even jumpered the terminals in the diagnostic port and my ABS light just flashes continually as it should.
My understanding is that the speedometer works off a current bias and the fuse for the circuit also powers such lights as the OD on/off in the gauge cluster (among a few others).
I pulled the ABS module off the vehicle, opened it up and didn't notice anything that looked bad. I'll probably pull the gauge cluster off tomorrow morning and see if anything is damaged. At that point I'll probably probe the wiring to see if the wiring is within spec as well.
People in later years have had ABS module problems and a few with the gauge cluster. It seems like i can pick up the module and gauge cluster in a junkyard for 50-60 dollars so that's probably what I'll do and see what happens.
