Unhappy LED Bulb help

I tried a search but no luck...I change all my exterior bulb light to LEDs.
Switchbacks in the front& installed two EL 12 After the install I checked & all lights & signals working great. A couple of days later My signals dont work anymore. The green arrow lights up but does not flash..( Like a bulb would be out ). I checked and all lights are working . The signals will not flash. Anyone have any ideas?

Thx

Rik

Check your flashers you replaced . The only time ive ever seen
a car do what yours is doing is when the flasher is bad or unplugged .
Hope this helps


Btw i know you put in two EL12's but double check them

Are you sure the flashers are the ones reated for LED's. Also some LED's are polarity sensitive so you might want to try flipping them 180 degrees.

I got my flasher to work.. I had to remove the LED bulbs I had in the tail lights and put back in my original bulbs. All my other LEDs work fine. WHen I replace 1 bulb in the tail light with a LED , my signal will not work ...
