Default turn signals blinking fast

need help figuring this out. i put the bubble lense kit from ecklers on my 77 vette and installed it like the directions say. the brake lights work fine, all 4 bulbs light up and look good. but when i turn on my turn signal it flashes quickly like i have a bulb out, but all my bulbs are fine. what could be causing this?

You used these instructions and a test light to confirm you were tapping in to the correct wire?

it's possible you have a bad flasher not meant for the four light system.
try a new heavy duty flasher.

The instructions indicated the use of a test light, you may have spliced the wrong wires together. Did you use the flasher that came with the kit?
