What the heck is the white block thing and do you think that this is what is causing my problem.  if it is, where can i get one.  the rear signal is an integraded brake, turn signal from clear alternatives. 




The white block is a resistor.  LEDs have much lower resistance than a conventional filament bulb.

The lower resistance causes the flasher for the turn signal to basically behave as though there is a blown bulb.

The solution for this is to place a resistor in the system to slow down the rate at which the flasher cycles.

Fix that broken wire and you'll be good to go.   [thumbsup]
