The Flasher is located behind the LH side of the instrument panel, on fuse panel

its above the pedals.

Actually my flasher is located under the dash had to take the dash apart and its not the flasher , i replaced the flasher relay, multifunction switch and all of the fuses and still nothing. FOund a guy $20 an hr for labor to figure it out

thats the problem, thats why nothing works now, you have shorted the whole turn signal circuit to chassis ground. It likely blew the blinker fuse the very first time you used it.

LED's dont have much resistance. When I had LED's they wouldnt blink till I added a ballast resistor (a big sand ballast resistor from Radio Shack, I think a 10 ohm is what I used, has to be a sand resistor for the current needed, a small current resistor would break) I added them inline to my signal wire and my tails would blink properly. This was AFTER adding a two bulb to one bulb converter. One resistor for each side.

The reason it worked when you touched the test light to it is you added the resistance of the test light bulb.

You must have heard them wrong. No one in their right mind would tell you to ground a 12v+ turn signal wire, and no one with even a modicum of understanding of electronics would actually do it.

wow russ, i totally missed that, you da man!
