Turn Signal Wont Blink

wasn't sure which forum to go with, so I figured here.. if I'm wrong, dont linch me

so as the topic says, when I hit my blinkers, they dont do that.. they just stay solid. I had a cheap set of LEDs in there that kept goin out, so I tossed them for a set of normal replacements bulbs, thinkin that'd fix the problem, but nope.. I checked the fuses as well, but they're all good.. I dunno if there are relays to check or what, so any help would be much appreciated

bad flasher. its above the brake pedal, stock one is green, and costs $16 at any parts store. BUT, if you want to go back to leds, superbrightleds.com, PN EP27L is designed to be used either with leds or incandescent bulbs, and eliminates the fast blink that is caused by a led bulb not drawing enough to cause a standard flasher to notice its there. and, it costs about the same as a stock flasher after shipping. dont use load stabilizers, it's a band-aid fix and can cause fires.

Also, the bulbs have dual filaments, and if they cross (it happens, believe me) this will happen too.
