    Replaced flasher relay, front bulbs, and checked fuses (working condition) to no avail. Blinkers we’re working only for the rear, but flashing rapidly, front don’t work either with blinkers or hazards. Problem started after a mechanic tried to pull trouble codes from car, resulting in security activation. We had to disconnect battery and reconnect for the car to operate. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hyper flash?? Are the bulbs LEDs that weren’t originally in the car ? Or are they halogens? If they’re halogens it’s usually the vehicles way of telling you one or more bulbs is out - perhaps the flasher relay is the wrong one or meant to stop hyper flash - they have those out there so people can swap to LEDs without it - just a guess

    Swapping to LED was an idea in mind. But at this rate it seems like I have no current running to my front bulbs. Also the bulbs are original halogens. The relay I bought is for halogen, but are also LED compatible, which was weird, because I’m sure that LED conversion relays are meant to carry a much weaker current. I read the package well, and the associate at Auto Zone insured me the Relay would work with the halogens. The relay did fix the hyper flash, blinks at a normal speed now, yet not front blinkers. I’ve uploaded two pictures of the bulbs and relay
