I installed a fender eliminator kit and everything is working fine except the
tag light keeps flashing. everything is grounded right and connected right. I
just can't figure out y it is flashing.

Any thoughts, anybody?

Replace the bulb. It may be on the verge of failure (broken filament).
And while the bulb is out, check the spring tension in the bottom of the
socket.

You didn't connect something properly and have a wonky contact.

...if that doesn't work, run a jumper directly from the existing ground to
the neg. pole of the battery and see if the problem clears up. If it
doesn't just use the process of elimination to test other segments of the
circuit.
