You have multiple faults, including the interior sensor (motion sensors above the mirror) and the radio sensor (a ground on the factory radio chassis).

Thanks Jeff. I have done some searching and found a thread on another forum where a sun shade was causing the interior sensor to go of. I bought one a few weeks ago and it was just before this started. So, I will be looking into that.

On the radio, I did replace the head unit and I thought I correctly reconnected the ground. Can you tell me what wire I need to make sure is grounded?

Thanks, John

There was a ground wire (brown in color) that was attached to the metal frame that the factory radio made contact with when it slid into place, that is the one you need to fix.
