QUESTION: it will do it both ways?
also a week ago the display on cd player quit working it is the stock stereo! and the car has a remote starter that has not worked for a long time! so not sure if that is any relation because this other problem just started
ANSWER: unfortunatley, from what your describing especially with the radio display, you will end up having to replace the unit. this is not an uncommon concern given the year and model of the vehicle.. wish ii had a better answer as to a repair but 99.9 percent of the time when these things start occuring, the laser in the c.d. player is giving out and the led's in the display have seen better days

QUESTION: why would it skip with the turn signal if it was wearing out? wouldnt it skip all the time?
Answerthere is one other possibility, please read the following service message thoroughly.
Some vehicles may exhibit a powertrain control module (PCM) concern that results in no crank, no start, or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) present. There may also be intermittent or inoperative power windows, door locks, keyless entry system, lighting, speed control, radio, instrument cluster warning lamps (possibly dimly illuminated instead of being off), or other electrical accessories. The concern is typically more noticeable in wet and/or cold weather conditions.
This may be the result of connector terminal corrosion in C134, C263, or the central junction box (CJB) which results in either high resistance between the male and female terminals or a short between two or more circuits due to bridging through any corrosion that may be present. Corrosion in C134 may be the result of improper positioning/sealing of C134. Corrosion in C263 or the CJB may be due to a water leak in the left hand A-Pillar area.
in a nut shell, you need to remove the panel located by the drivers foot, there will be multiple connectors, seperate them. clean the connections with air and apply grease to the connections. reassemble and see if this resolves your issue.
sorry, panel located at driver's left foot
