Default Radio Problem. Help!

My radio screen flashes on and off and will display lines going vertical, which makes it hard to read. This started happening shortly after I installed led signals front and rear without a load equalizer. I was wondering if that could be the reason. Any ideas?

There's some info on here about the problem you are having. It probally is where the display board connects to the motherboard on the radio. Do a search, from what I remember it is a pretty simple fix.

Thanks for the reply. That make more sense than the leds doing it. Of course this started happening as soon as my warranty ran out.

I have LED installed and i did require an equalizer. It would be easy to see if you put the OEM bulbs back in then see if the Radio problem is corrected.
