If you have ane original type thermal flaher ubnit, and you installed 
any LED bulbs for brake lights or front turn signaals, then it will 
not work.  A therrmal flasher unit will not flash unless it sees the 
electrical load of two 21-watt incandescent lanps. Solutiobn then is 
to change to a heavy duty thermal flasher, as is used for 4-way 
hazard flashers, or to install an electronic flasher unit that will 
work with the low power LEDs.
