I can think of two things I would check. First, there is a delay switch under the break pedal that keeps the break lights on for around 45 seconds after stopping, even when the key is removed. The switch could be faulty? Second, you could have a loose ground connection that is causing the flashing. I had a bad crimp on a the ground wire coming from the negative battery terminal that was causing all kinds of weird stuff to happen before the problem was identified and fixed. Electrical problems can be a pain in the a$$ to troubleshoot.

On another note, I hate the delay switch. When I park the cart, and remove the keys, it really bugs me to walk away from the cart with lights still on. I am constantly walking back to the cart to double check that the headlight switch is totally off. Does anyone know a way to simply bypass and remove the delay timer mechanism?
