Default Grr.. turn signals not working

Alright I took my car out to get some gas today since its been away since October. I go out to start the car every 2weeks for 20min to keep the battery up and recently I got some white/blue leds for my DLR's from ledvault. Everything on the car worked fine before I put it away and all my lights light up fine... When I go to use the turn signal left or right my dash green arrow just stays lit, dont hear a clicking sound like im about to turn, and none of my lights are blinking that im going to turn. Basically, they lights are working but aren't blinking and on my dash the arrow is just staying green. wtf can cause this, does it have something to do with the led bulbs I put in? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

try the regular bulbs. the DRL module controls the blinking so either the LEDs is causing the DRL module to not blink the lights or the module is messed up

To use LEDs in your turn signals you need an electronic flasher. Stock flasher is thermal but LEDs don't pull enough to make it work.
