So this code came on today. It has to have something to do with the radio I put in yesterday but all the wires are in the right place. About one mile after i started driving the dash went crazy and it said no can bus. The truck ran fine while it was doing this. Then after about another mile everything went back to normal, but every once in while the parking brake light, abs light and airbag light would flash and ding and then go off. Did I blow a fuse or something?
