Swap the bulbs, see if it works.
If the turn signals don't blink or blink
too fast you may need a resistor across the bulb for the turn signal circuit,
I think they sell an adapter for that. It's needed for mechanical/heat type
of flashers that rely on the higher current used by a 'filament' bulb. The LED
bulbs don't draw much power and will not cause the flasher to heat up to open
and close the contact.
The last thing you can do is use a 3 terminal flasher
that is not load sensitive. It's basically a 2 prong flasher with a flying
lead that you ground and works with any type of load. Check Waytek Wire for
them, I think that's where I got the last one.
A few ways to skin the cat.
Check the LED bulbs some may have the resistor built in.
