Need help Dash lights go Haywire
Glad you finally found it. This could have gone on much longer and cost you money and gray hairs. Good lesson for members, aftermarket installs can be a source of issues. Even wiring in a dash cam...

SOLVED!
It ended up being a short in the aftermarket "Tesla Style Touchscrean Android" stereo. I took it to a local remote start alarm place to have remote start fixed and they wouldn't look at it until I fixed it. But guy pointed out on the back of the unit when I pulled it out the Canbus wire was exposed the plastic was gone in a little section. They referred me to a shop close by called them and they wanted 2 hours and $330 to diagnose the problem. I was already late for leaving out of town for work and decided to just go home and switch out LS460's to my 2010 or see if I had one of those extra Canbus plug in modules for back of unit. I literally slapped a piece of electrical tape over the exposed wire and have not heard a bell, beep or light since.
Too bad for Stereo shop because I called in advance he said they could fix it then when I drove a half hour there they said they couldn't fix it and this made me lose about 2.5 hours of work from leaving town, because I had my wife in my other LS and we were going to leave town from there different direction. I said are you sure I can't pay you to look at it, I will never come back here again ( have an outside sales job where when it's go TIME it's GO TIME)...they said they don't deal with that stuff, I was like your a stereo shop, canbus, alarms?
