I FIXED IT, EVERYTHING WORKS

turns out, the flasher was the issue, 3rd one was the charm. The first two where apparently both faulty. Also, some of the flashers are labelled as "electronic" when they are actually electro-mechanical. The clear one below is WRONG, the black one is RIGHT. all about the 31, 49, and 49a!
