Consumer Description

Went to start truck and had a loud pop like a shotgun went off in the cab when the push to start was turned on. After that I had no sound from the stereo. First thing I noticed was no rear park aid beep when backing up and then noticed all sound was gone. Parked truck not knowing what was wrong and grabbed other truck as I was pulling away the alarm started going off and stereo was blasting static noise on full. Had to disconnect batteries to stop alarm and to get radio to turn off. So to clarify all was shut off and truck was locked and about 1 minute later alarm went off with sound blasting could not turn truck on or off nothing worked. Thank god i didn’t drive it to work would have caused a wreck.
