Electrical issues HELP
Currently fighting an issue with my (2008) c6 to where it will occasionally tweak out to where the blinkers flick fast and when I hit the brake it tries to pull up the reverse camera on my head unit. I attached some videos of how the lights look when the blinkers flick (headlights also flick fast), but when I put the hazards on the taillights and headlights blink fine but now the side markers do the start up sequence when they didn't used too.
Day video is from how the hazards used to look when I would have them on.
I have replaced the alternator, battery, and cleaned the two grounding points under the battery so far.

You'll need a wiring diagram to find where there's common power & ground supplies for these items, & look for a short to gnd or an open (where the circuit would try to use another electrical path). Any aftermarket electrical doodads on this car? If so, suggest starting there, disconnecting the non-factory additions & see if that helps.

FYI- papawana here on the Forum offers free wiring diagrams, although I believe he goes up to a 2007... not sure how different the one model year would make (although it IS the year LS2 went to LS3)... worth giving him a shout unless someone else on the Forum can supply an 08 WD... or subscribe to something like Alldata like I do & you'll have it for yourself.

Believe I found the fix, was in contact with Cole from vette lights and he suggested pulling the reverse harness for the taillights and after looking at that I noticed it was very corroded so I am getting a new one shipped out but even just unplugging it and replugging it made the car tweak out way less.
Rather confusing how this was even affecting my reverse camera/head unit but at least I found the solution.
