Exclamation Need help fast

Im currently wiring up resistors on a 12 TL and can't stop hyper-flashing. I'm pretty damn sure I'm on the correct wire but I've tried four different ways and no luck. I was told by the seller of the resistors that one end goes to the turn signal, and the other end of the resistor goes to a ground. I wired it this way with negative results. I then wired both ends to the turn signal line and had negative results. Next I put a resistor on the front line and left the back line still wired as a bypass and tried the front line both with a ground AND as a bypass... Both with negative results. I even put the factory bulb back in the front and tried and still had hyper-flashing. Either this isn't going to wor, I've don't it wrong or I'm tapping the wrong wire... Thing is, on the rear turn signals, there are only 2 wires going to the signal ; a color wire(L-Blue R- green) and the second wire on both sides is solid black.. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP

Problem solved.. For anyone with this task in the future. The other end of the load resistor MUST tap into the ground wire running to the signal . NOT just any ground.

Please close thread...

when they say ground.. you dont necessarily bolt it to the frame.. its the wire..

There may be a difference between signal ground and earth ground in your case...
