The installation screwed up the RC circuit (tau) responsible for turn signal timing.
(Tau=Resistance x Capacitance)
Probably total resistance has decreased to the point that Tau is tiny, so you never get enough charge building up in the capacitors to trip the signal properly. (The installation was probably put in parallel with the signal circuit, decreasing resistance).
Tell them to redo it, properly, so the alarm system has it's own dedicated circuit thru the vehicle.

I took it back to the dealer and they said it is on the parking lamp signal, yet the signals are still sticking every so often. After awhile of driving and use on the signals they wont flash at all still. anyone else have any suggestions?
