Red and White should be positive and Brown and Black are Negative.

You have a total of 4 light sections right? One pair is all red, the other is red/white? You should have two Red wires going to Yellow, and two White wires going to Blue and the Brown and Blacks should all be ground. Make sure you have a good ground on all lights individually. If all lights work, but not on the flasher than you have one of three problems. The flasher is overloaded, the wire that is used for your grounds is too small or does not have a good connection, or the wires for your positive are too small or do not have a good connection. Take the flasher out of the equation, just hook the lights straight to 12 volts for a second to make sure they light, do not leave them hooked up because they will overheat.
