Blinker wont flash, please helppp!

I have a 91 camaro and since i had a few burned out stock lights i thought it would be cool to just replace them with LED bulbs. After replacing all the bulbs on the exterior with the LED bulbs i tried out my blinkers and they didnt flash, they went on and just stayed on. Someone recommended me getting a LED flasher relay and that will solve my problem. Well i bought one and plugged it in, well since there is a black ground wire coming out from it because it needs to be grounded to metal i tried grounding it. My first try it didnt work so i had a friend come look at it and the minute he connected it to a wire that had already been grounded to the car it worked, but when i turn the flasher off i still here the relay making the clicking noise. Ive tried everything and some parts of metal i put the ground wire on it wont work. This problem is frustriating me, does anyone know what can be wrong?

the problem is the front marker lights, you will most likely need to wire in resistors on the front lights.

I have the same problem on my Formula, LED's for the rear turn signals work fine but for the dual filament bulbs in the front cause them to just stay on.
I am using an Electronic Flasher unit as well.
