if your workaround works in every case, it could be your harness is wired wrong. but 9 times of 10 and I have heard about this more than 10 times, the harness wiring at the column is to blame.

So everything works as expected when I swapped the wires. I already tested everything. Its going to be a huge pain to pull the fuse panel and swap the wires. Oh well its gotta be done.

Sorry, can you guys explain this wiring problem? Which aftermarket fuse boxes come wired backwards?

The flasher was not working and would just stay on when I used the turn signals. I am using the EZwire wiring harness with the flasher unit that hooks directly to the fuse block. The wires for the flasher must be switched on the fuse block. I don't think this would usually matter but I am running all LED lights. I also have the flasher unit for LED lights.
