Hey guys. I had a back up camera installed which turned out to be a nightmare.

Long story short the day I had it installed it started causing the left and or right lamps to flash on my dash that they were out for a second or two. This is only happening with large power draws... When my sub hits lows .. or for testing purposes... I found out just now that when I try to close all four windows at once when they're already fully closed... The dash will flash that the left turn indicator is out. . . Has anyone experienced this?

It's a 2015 1500 quad cab.

Do they tap into the back up light in order for the reverse cam to turn on?

I've also since had the camera removed due to all the damn issues.

Dealer is going to troubleshoot for free.

Service department is implying the radio is connected to the bus system... Or something like that... If I want to remove it from that and put it else where... Where would I do that?

There is a factory harness that I made my dealer order after a similar BS camera install they tried doing when I bought my 2015 new. They sent it to a outside source who hacked **** up. Well, I made damn sure it was corrected.

So I remember when I purchased the truck the little connections under the rear seat were not connected as the connection leads no where...

I just remembered after the radio got installed that I saw them connected and it's been a headache since... I disconnected them and have not been able to replicate the light out error.
