Hey Miguel,
Typically when using a tester and getting 3 functions blinking at the same time it indicates and issue with the vehicle end or the wiring or connector. It is most likely a short circuit of sorts or a bad ground wire. The bad ground would cause it to send power to multiple functions at once. I would double check the ground on your vehicle along with the wiring connections to see if there is a frayed connection or a ground wire not properly grounded.
If that does not solve your issue let me know and I can continue to troubleshoot.
