If the taps are on wrong, the blinky wouldn't function right at all. IIRC, the blinky is like my Commonsenserc balancer. If so, when you first hook it up, the balancer lights indicate cell count. If they flash correctly, the taps are fine.

It could be that the blinky is just really sensitive to ANY imbalance. Meaning, it could be trying to balance out a voltage difference of something like 0.005v. I would use a voltmeter and check each cell manually as a sanity check.
