so maybe i'm bubba
i went and got a new, bezel, stereo and spaker bar
. so saturday i pulled out the bezel, radio, blah, blah. i hooked up the radio, speakers and put it all back together, broke the push button for the seatbelt warning light
, and lost the lense that goes above the button. not a big deal, radio works, i will just get another button and lense put them in sometime in future. crank up radio everything works great. Well, i also broke the new bezel 
, trying to put the AC vent back in *&^%. That was a waste of 100.00, but I 'll get over it. Well it stopped raining today, sunnt about 70, i'll take my car for a spin, crank up the radio. Driving and when I put on the turn signal, radio stops playing, tape, tape starts flashing, and I hear the blinker coming throught the speakers
. PLease someone tell me it's my ground causing the problem. then I hooked up the radio, bubba was in here before me, and the wire colors did not match the wiring guide, so I just hooked it up same way old radio was installed b4. Except, I hooked up the ground to a metal peice that was sticking up that your would put a bolt through, I figured that would be ok. Any thoughts, b4 I ripe this apart?

Maybe?
Just because you can put a bolt through it does not make it a ground. Best advice would be to fish a ground cable back to the battery, 2nd would be to run through the firewall & attach it to the frame.
