no they r not supposed to blink
What are your "issues"? Is the blinking the "issue"?
see thread below for my issues. In a nutshell my, brake lights go on when I turn the lights on but the runnings lights do not come on. If I put the car in neutral, my running lights come on along with with reverse lights. If I place in Drive, running lights go off but reverse lights stay on. I was checking my turn signals and noticed my third light blinking with the turn signal and I did not think that was normal. My headlamps and front lights/ Front turn signals work fine. Only my Driver's side rear turn signal works (but only when the car is in neutral). Passenger side rear turn signal does not work so I thought maybe there might be a bad bulb in the third light that needed to be replaced if it was all wired in sequence. I need some help to fix this problem.

I read your link/thread. I agree with Aminga it DOES sound like a bad ground. However, I would continue to check bulbs and if they ARE bad or look bad, replace them at the very least for peace of mind. While doing this you might just find you have a frayed or loose wire somewhere in the works. JMO.
Where do I start looking for the ground wires. Again, when I turn on the headlamp/parking switch the reverse lights come on. If i move the "half moon" several clicks on the P/N switch under the dash and put the car in reverse the running lights come on but the reverse lights do not. However, I cannot get the running lights to come on just by turning on the headlamp switch (it is a brand new GM switch). by adjusting the P/N adjustment I can get the running lights to come on but only by placing it in reverse without even turning the headlamp switch on. It seems very stange.
