Is it a mechanical or an electronic flasher. If you are running LED taillights or blubs you need an electronic flasher for them to work properly

I tried several different electronic flasher styles (with and without ground wire) on different cars with mixed results.

On the MOPAR forum I was recommended the JDM electronic flasher -- it worked on every application I have without fail (Ford, GM and Dodge). This unit does not have a ground wire. It has a crisp click with a perfect flash rate and no hyperflash.

Available in 2 and 3 pin configuration.
