i would check the harness that the bulb plugs into with a voltmeter(use dc voltage setting). you should be getting a reading of 0, 12, 0, etc out of one of the pins. then work your way from there.

Woohooo!....fixed the problem gained another, lights now work...but now when i step on the brake and have the turn signal on to the left the signal goes crazy (blinks reallllly fast), i did two things...1. found a wire that wasnt connected which was the reason for the power loss and 2. moved my rca cable and remote wire to the opposite side of the car.....ne ideas why my blinker is acting crazzzyness

i fixed my problem too. ground wire wassnt grounded.

as for fast blinking- check your front turn signals. if they are blown- they can cause the circuit to operate twice as fast.
