Changed the sub box to ported. Increased the gain on sub from the amp. Now feels like the bass it should feel like. I like the response so far

So I have an odd and slightly worrying problem that just developed. When I shift into reverse, my backup camera displays a very distorted and static like picture. However, that is the least of my worries. When I use my blinker, the display on my head unit turns off until the blinker is turned off. Not only that, but when I have my blinker on, ALL of my rear exterior lights blink. Brake lights, stop lights, even my license plate lights blink! WTF?! I'm assuming this has something to do with the backup camera. I'm going to take the trunk apart and look at the wiring when I get off work, but any suggestions of what to look for? Until I get this fixed, I won't have working blinkers

Don't worry about it. Turn signals are optional to most people.
I would look for damage to your wiring. Look in the wiring guide to find out what color the wires are for your turn signals.

Turn Signal (Left) - red/blue - (+) - top of fuse box (large white plug)
Turn Signal (Right) - brown - (+) - top of fuse box (large white plug)
Okay so here are the two wires at the fuse box.
From the fuse box, they go to this connector behind the fog light switch.
Nothing looks out of place to me. I also checked the wires at all four turn signals and nothing looks damaged. I did find this random plug at the rear driver's side turn signal that wasn't plugged into anything. Any idea what it is for?
I also checked out the wires I tapped at the backup light socket for the rear view camera and they were fine.
I'm starting to think this has to be a problem with the wiring behind the stereo. What else would cause my head unit's display to flash with the blinkers? I should note that the sound does not go out, just the display.
So confused

Took the stereo apart last night and checked all the connections. Everything looked fine. I'm stumped. Here are a few quick videos I took of what's going on.
This is with the headlights turned on and the right blinker only on.
Rear
Front
This one is of my head unit freaking out when the blinkers are on.

That's it bro. Time to light your car on fire and walk away.

It figures that this happens after I already spend $1,500 in new replacement parts for it.
When it rains, it pours.

That's how it is man. I try to keep the parts purchasing down after previous experiences and stick with maintenance mostly.

That's not natural. I'll have to look into this a little deeper.

On same note Same thing happens when i swap the brake bulbs with leds whole interior lights up when brake is press ,i thought it was maybe a resistance issue but even load resistors do me no justice

Just that and inspecting as much wiring as I could. I honestly have no idea what else to do. I had really hoped that the relay was the problem.
I'm not sure how I missed this before, but the wife pointed out last night that when I turn my blinker on, there is a knocking noise coming from somewhere behind the dash. I'm not talking about the normal blinker clicking, this is a knocking that happens in rhythm with the normal clicking.
I'm not 100% sure where it is coming from, but it sounds like it's coming from beneath the stereo..... I really hope it isn't the ECU....

It was suggested on v6p to replace the combination switch so I'll try that seeing as it is only a $25 part. Not sure how hard it is to replace though...
