Re: electrical gremlens..help!
Check to make sure you didn't bump the brake light switch while you were wiring the new radio.Also check to see if the plug on the headlight switch is fully seated.Those are the first two things that come to mind and you may have already checked them.

Re: electrical gremlens..help!
sounds like you may have a bad/faulty clock spring....also make sure you have your flasher pulled out (off)...and can we get a vid of the front headlights flashing with the blinker

Re: electrical gremlens..help!
I would unhook the radio and see if it still does it or not then you would know if that is the problem.

Re: electrical gremlens..help!
Sounds to me like the hazard button is pushed in and either the hazard flasher is bad or not there.

Re: electrical gremlens..help!
Clock springs are in vehicles with air bag in steering wheel it contains the wires so they will turn with steering wheel. they were not used in GM trucks till 1995
