Default Flashers not working
68 Vette, flashers and hazard aren't working, but parking lights and all other lights are working. I changed the relay under the dash on the passenger side and it still doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

LED's have less current draw so regular flashers will not work properly. You either have to put resistors in the circuits or use electronic flashers to get them to work.
