I recently replaced my brake lights, rear indicators and reversing light with LEDs also replaced the dash lights with LEDs. I was driving the other night, any time I put the indicators on the stereo shut off and my indicators didn't work, when I knocked it off the radio started again. I stopped for roughly 20 minutes, when I turned the car on the indicators were working again but the dash lights no longer worked. I'm not exactly a wiring genius so I have no idea what the problem is or whether it is related to the LEDS, can anybody help me?

LEDs of the normal type do cause some flasher units not to work correctly, but strange issue with the radio? The radio should be on a Ignition fed accessory circuit normall off fuse 4 ? have you checked all the connections to the radio are good? You might find changine the flasher relay to the 2pin with earth electronic type better. Re the dash lights possible you dislodged the multi pin connector on the back of the dash putting it back?
