Default Hyperflash harness problem

Hello there like the title says I recently bought a hyperflash harness from ebay and also purchased led tail lights from ebay as well. I bought the tail lights as 54smd red leds and hooked everything up no problem. When i went to test everything the brakes work, running lights work, blinkers work, etc...except the harness did not cure the hyper flash. Anyone want to chime in on why its not working? I do have a front turn signal out and havent changed it because i am waiting to have time to install clear housing and amber leds. I work like 14 hour days i literally dont have time to search the web for previous posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Fix the front turn signal, you'll be good to go.

Fixing the front signal should do it. If not, you may need to install a different flasher relay.

I swapped out the front stock bulbs for leds this morning, fixing the one that was out also, in hopes that it would fix the hyper flash. And nothing, i emailed the ebay seller whom sells these harnesses all the time & his response was also that I may need a different harness. He said his harness only works with the leds that are already housed not the bulbs. But did offer a full refund. Which is exactly what I am going to have to do. My question now is does anyone sell the harness that goes with bulbs? I have the LED bulbs that have 54small leds in each bulb for all four rear tail lights and have 45small leds in each bulb for the front turn signals. They are not switchbacks, just amber. If any vendor or someone can chime in please and thanks

I know a lot of people have Radioflyer's hyperflash harness (myself included) and don't have any issues. Maybe send him a PM and see what he thinks, or maybe he can chime in here.

If you buy any LED stuff (tail lights, interior lights, etc) I'd suggest Radioflyer's store. He has pretty much all the lighting covered and he frequents the forums so you can always get support (and his products are fairly popular so other members can help as well).
