Wild stuff, Christmas tree lights going on in cluster

[michaeldahlen]

I have a 2016 Sorento 4cyl. I’m getting all sorts of exciting lights blinking in the drivers cluster. Iv always heard of “Christmas tree” of lights on a car but NEVER expected it to really happen like this. I started to notice that this was happening when going from park into reverse or drive and then go away after a min or so and not do it for week or weeks. Then today it started up again and now it’s always blinking when running or when ignition is turned to “on” position drive park reverse neutral. Can’t catch any error codes on my scanner. No voltage drops of gains. Any ideas. I have a video but I guess I can’t post it. I can email it if anyone wants.

The issue ended up being the back up camera. I took the rear door panel off to get to the wiring for the camera. unplugged it and all the blinking lights went away. It was like magic! put all the trim and plastic back on the door and shut the hatch to find out that the wiring harness I unplugged for the camera ALSO powers tag lights AND power for the rear door release. I had to dig deeper and take off that other panel on the rear door to get to JUST the camera connection. I was able to just unplug the camera - now everything works minus the camera that didnt work in the first place. I would get a new one but dont want to spend the $300 for it. all fixed.
