I had the same problem because I was using a thermal flasher. LED lights draw less current; so, there is not enough draw to trigger a thermal flasher. I tried some LED flashers, which worked great when the engine was off, but they went nuts with the engine running (because of the static generated by the engine).

This is what worked the best for me. My Signal Stat 900 pilot light does not work, but the signals blink fine with the motor running and with it stopped.

Or, you can try adding load resistors to the circuit.
