No turn signals

I just installed LED turn signal bulbs up front and now I have no turn signals at all and my hazzards blink fast. Before this my signals would always blink fast because of my LED tail light bulbs but now that don't work at and and just make a buzzing noise. Is this because all lights bulbs are LED?

I was going to replace the fasher to fix the fast blinking but I had 2 problems, one i cant find the flasher (even after i seached here on where it is), and second which flasher do i need. This website lists several diff ones but not what car they fit in (http://autolumination.com/equalizers.htm)

Its a 99 F-150 btw

Thanks

I think oznium.com sells the flasher module you're looking for.

Maybe bad contacts in your switch, but if this problem happened the second after you installed the LED's maybe you wired or incorrectly installed them. LEDs are DIODES which prohibit the flow of reverse polartiy so incorrect mounting will do nothing for you.

They were just replacement bulbs so i dont think they are wired wrong and do light up when the parking lights are on.

Also I didnt find any flasher modules at oznium.com.

Pick up a Tridon EP-27 flasher from AutoZone for $13. It's located behind the left center of the instrument panel in a block with the blower motor relay.

The turn signals are not the same as your parking lights - they are different circuits and different parts of the "bulb".

The brake lights and the turn signals are the same elements.

I picked up the flasher today, but didn't get a chance to install it. I did take a quick look under the dash to try and find where it goes and I think I did (right behind the OBD port?) but i couldn't get the cover off the box.
Also the hazzards now dont work either.

Try putting in the stock bulbs and see what you have or have-not

I'm having this same issue. Can someone post a picture of this mysterious flasher relay? I have a suspicion of where it's located but i'm tired of fooling with it and looking like an idiot with hyper flashing LED lights.
