When I turn on the turn signals they light but don't flash. If I add another bulb inline and touch it to ground the turn signals flash and the spare bulb does too. Do I need to run a ground from the flasher? Or maybe a chasis ground on the instrument panel?

Do you have LED's for lights.  If so, you need a flasher designed for LED's as the load is lighter and will not trigger the flasher.

If you don't have LED's, then I would say the flasher is either the wrong one  or is going bad.

Didn't think of that. I replaced the turn signal lights with Led's. That's why the spare bulb makes it work. Thanks.

Sorry to drift OT, but how do the LED's work? I've read that a lot of them are pretty directional and don't show up as well from an angle. You happy, and what brand did you use?

I have LED taillights and they aren't as bright as I hoped. The led's I mentioned above are in the gauge cluster in place of the turn signal bulbs. They are great.

I went back through the wiring and installed an LED flasher and wallah, everything is working. I had put LED's in the place of the dash turn signal bulbs and that was why I was having problems. I also noticed that my tail lights are much brighter and the stop and turns. I didn't expect the flasher circuit to effect the tail lights but apparently it does. Happy camper here now!

Good news. So who's LED's did you use in the tail/brake lights, and how are they now from an angle?

Thanks MoonShadow. Over here in WA, we no longer give a state driving test with the police. All private schools, and merging on the freeway isn't part of the curriculum. So expecting a young driver to see 2 brake lights is a challenge. My last close call last fall was a 1 ton pickup that stopped along side me at a red light. In the oncoming lane, thank God for antilock brakes. Still had the cell phone in her hand.

These are the led bulbs in my taillights. The left turn signal is on to show that change. This was taken about dusk with the garage lights on in front. They are a lot better since I replace the burnt wire with a larger one. I'm using the Sylvania 1157 super bright LED's.
