I will try incandescents,  but I'm not sure why i need "ballasts."  The fla=
sher unit, and all bulbs are LED.  And, btw, the trafficator bulb in the sp=
eedo has not worked for years,  even when the blinkers worked properly

Do you have ballast in the turn signal circuit?  Right and left sides are c=
onnected by the indictor light in the speedo.  If not enough resistance in =
the circuit, current will bleed through to the other side causing odd combi=
nations of lighting.  Either get ballasts or as a test, replace the front L=
eds with incandescent.  They will provide enough resistance to correct for =
the cross-bleed.  In mine I just have Leds in the rear, so it works for me.

No flash.  Just solid light,  same side either up or down

Is this what you meant to say?  Do the left lights flash when the switch is=
 in either direction?  If so, double check the turn signal switch wiring an=
d make sure the GW, GR and LG/N wires are connected correctly.

the blinker switch, according to my continuity tester, works.

not sure where to go from here.  am looking for direction.
