Haven't used my Camaro for almost a month I finally turn it on and when I got home I closed and locked the doors and everything and notice the radio didn't turn off at all, and i also notice when I was driving my blinkers chime didn't make any noise??

What could it be?

Since the blinkers and chimes work through the radio you could start with it. Make sure your battery is good and so is your alternator. Electrical gremlins can be hard to find sometimes.

Could just be low voltage. Disconnect your battery to let the computers 'clear'. Charge the battery. Then power it back up.

Pull the display fuse for about 30 seconds and pop it back it. I forget exactly what fuse it is, but its the one for the radio display. This has happened to me a few times now, fuse pull works every time for a few months. In my case its a firmware problem with the PDIM but I refuse to buy another part from GM and they dont have a FW push for the C series PDIMs. Eventually I'll do an aftermarket setup to work around this.

I pulled the fuse, waited about 30s-1m before putting it back in and it worked again thank you! I believe the fuse was F3 located in the passenger side inside the trunk!
