removed radio now flashers won't stop !
First off, this is going to be more than a 1 afternoon job.
I finally got my factory radio out of my C5 today and after summing up the situation I figured that I will continue tommorrow. I reconnected the battery and drove the car into the garage.
As soon as the battery was reconnected the 4 way flashers went off and would not stop. So I disconnected the battery again and called it a day.
When I go to put the new radio in will the flashers stop?
If not what else can I do to stop the flashers? Is this automatic with a battery disconnect-reconnect?
HELP!

the flasher wiring harness is behind the radio and routed to the driver's side (where your right knee is when sitting) If you accidentally pinched, pulled or otherwise messed with that harness when removing the radio, this would cause the flasher to freak out.

Is there any chance that because the active handling control is unplugged from the center console that the flashers would go off? As instructed, the active handling control was unplugged to remove the center console.
Otherwise I may need to remove the entire upper IP cover to figure this out. I'm also checking the fuses.
