Side marker makes my screen blink as well

Ok, I jus wired up my side markers.

I Wanted it to stay on while driving and blink when I signal.

It stays on, but when I signal now. The side marker blinks, but also The nav screen blinks too.

I have the side marker wires going to the blinker and the other to the amber side strip.

Any suggestions on whats going on?

I have a similar problem. When I turn on the fog lights, the screen flickers. Never was able to isolate the problem.

Well i re-wired it yesterday and got better results.

I have them connected to the positive of the turn signal and the positive of amber side strip, and the resistor is connected to the rear turn light.

Where are you fogs lights connected to?

It got better tho after i re-wired them yesteday, i can finally signal with no problems but now when i hazard is when the lights make the screen flicker. I would say thats 2 steps forward and one step back. haha

I have side markers on my 2012 g37 sedan, resisters in the back wired up so they don't blink fast for the led turn signal bulbs I have in the front. It's all been wired up for over a year no issues, until Saturday when my center console (A/C button and fan speed button) blinks with the turn signals, but ONLY when the headlights are all turned off. At night the screen blinks too. Do I have a short or not a complete circuit somewhere? Everything appears ok and when the headlights are turned on ( or parking lights at that matter) it doesn't make the center console blink

Thanks
