VP2 Radio not working

[Spence296]

First post here…but I have a 2014 Ram Express 5.7 and the radio has suddenly went dead. I’ve looked for anything to help but none exist so far. I have had zero problems other than the xm not working. It used to work then I had it reconnected one day and then it wouldn’t. It has this strange clipping sound but the radio worked fine. But now at night I can see a small light like flash in the vents around the radio and I’ve timed them at about every 47-49 seconds this arc like flash flashes…like clockwork! Occasionally the screen flashes like it’s trying to come on instead of the flash. Very strange to me! Anyone experienced anything like this??

I'd remove the radio and inspect behind for electrical damage.
