Electrical problems
So i take apart my center console to dye the center console black. So then I clean and dye and center console and have everything dry. Well I go and reassemble the center console and bold everything back on. I take the car for a spin to make sure that everything is ok. Well everything is not ok because I can hear electrical noise coming from the center console. Also when I turn on the blinkers the climate control flickers. Not only that but when I press on the brake the headlights flicker. When both the headlights flicker and the climate control flicker my stereo flicks off then on again. I was wondering if it might be a loose connnector or bad ground. Where does the radio get its ground? what about the climate control ground? I have already gone through and checked all the obvious things but cannot find anyhting. Any help and ideas would be needed.

same problem
I had the same problem! I was driving home, when suddenly smoke from my deck was comming out. I took the center console apart and I found a burn black wire from one of the main harness. There are four main harness, it was the grey one. That is where you can find your problem.

I found the culprit this morning. I don't know what to call this little guy but here it is! Now has anybody had to purchase one of these little guys. I thinks it will cost a lot of money. I might try and find one at the junkyard. apparently I had pinched it rather bad when I reinstalled my center console. So I have decided to just let it be. I am gonna electrical tape it and also double wrap it in some foam.
let me know what you guys thinks and thoughts and wats else?

Nevermind just a bad battery. Time for a new one!
