issues install flashing module a car 3rd brake light

I'm trying to installing a flashing module for my third brake light on my car. I'm having problems with flasher working properly when car's running but when the car is in the on position it works fine. The third brake light goes straight thru a body control module. I tried putting a resistor because as the cars running voltage goes up. I thought the body control module was trying to limit the current. I think problem is that voltage goes to 3v not 0v but the same thing happens when car's in on position. I'm lost now what guys think I should do next?

A flashing brake light will confuse many old grannies and they will crash into you.

I'm not sure how it could be confusing, I see them all over and they're certainly eye catching. The problem I see is that in the US anyway they are illegal and that means if you do get in an accident it could cause big headaches if an insurance adjuster notices you have it. Their whole job essentially is to find loopholes to weasel out of paying your claim.
