A flasher bypass wire harness. Give jdmvette a shout, he can help.

Was the car running? Mine often flash fast when the car is off, but have never done so while driving.

It needs a resistor.

I have the hyperflash on the passenger side, but not the driver. Go figure!

He doesn't need a resistor. The flasher bypass harness solves the problem of LED "quick flash" without any resistors.

I've got the same problem; I ordered the module from Richard and will put it on this week. Those who have done it - any issues with CLB module and this module working together?

Firstly, this bypass harness is NOT a "module". It is merely a type of "piggyback" circuit that allows the turn signal lights to have their own separate flasher from the one normally used by the signal lights. It uses a separate electronic variable load flasher that the signal lights will use, once installed. It does not involve cutting or splicing, etc. It is a true "pnp" and can be changed back to stock at any time and has nothing whatsoever to do with, nor will it interfere with, the CLB circuitry.

And once you install Richards harness then go ahead and enjoy front LED turn signals as well. Search for switchbacks. Wait I think Richard started selling them as well???
