I'm guessing that you need a digital flasher.  The old school flasher =
modules rely on the current of a light bulb to heat a metal strip that =
breaks then makes the circuit.  LED bulbs don't flow enough current.

Maybe something like this:

first - the flasher switch went bad years ago so it has been bypassed. =20
=20
the blinkers were working previously.  the blinker module was bad and i =
replaced it.
=20
i have tested the new blinker module - it is LED as are most of the lights =
on the car - it works.  If I go from the module to the battery ground with =
a test light it blinks
=20
the blinker switch, according to my continuity tester, works. =20
=20
when i turn on the right blinker, the left front and rear blinker lights =
just stay on.  when i turn on the left blinker, the left front and rear =
blinker lights just stay on.
=20
not sure where to go from here.  am looking for direction.
