my front leds work just fine but when I plugged in the rears they just stay on no flash. The fronts flash but that’s it. I have an led flasher installed but I can’t figure out why the rears don’t flash. At first I thought it was a bad ground so I temp put a separate ground but still the same outcome. Any ideas? Do I need a second relay? Maybe not enough power for both front and back?
 
So I was thinking maybe if I wired my license plate lights that would complete the circuit and make them flash. So that’s what I did. My led license plate lights come on but again still nothing in the rear. Here’s a couple of pics of what I am talking about and a video of the fronts

Not a flasher, a flasher can (relay), whatever you want to call them. Here's the one I have, $2.50 from China, or spend an arm and a leg at your local auto accessory outlet for the same thing. The little round thing in the middle is the adjuster.

Also check in the headlight bucket that the wiring is connected because the rear
indicators get their feed from there , joined with the front ones from the indicator switch.
