They're kind of tricky, because the stock flasher is designed to only work
within a narrow range of current. In theory, that is to let you (the driver)
know when a bulb is burned out. You'll need about 4-5 amps, about 3 ohms (and
50 watts). Probably easier to make up a dummy load from a couple of bulbs (but
be sure to wire the stop/turn filament, as the tail filament doesn't draw
enough current).

That would lead me to believe just the opposite. Did you have the ignition
switch and turn switch both on at the time? Check that there was still power
on green with the jumper in place? Jumpering green to one output should light
the dash lamp, the other light both signals on the side selected at the switch.
If that doesn't work, fix it first and then go back to the flasher.
