First off, srry for the shorthand im typing on my phone. Now i just put LED replacements in almost all of my lights today, started down the road and realzied the turns dont blink, just stay on. They do blink when the emergency flashers are on, but not the turn signals. Any ideas on how to fix this?

What kind of LED's did you use? The problem is that your flasher doesn't recognize them as having bulbs. LED's draw so little power, it tricks other things into thinking they don't exist. When I did LED tail lights in my Camry, I had to buy resistors to trick the ECU into thinking I had normal bulbs in the rear or the dash light that would tell me I had a tail light out would come on.

Usually you want to buy LED's that have built in resistors in bulb form so that they actually function correctly. (Spree can probably get you a good set)
