If you do not have neutral wire in box, then suggest installing battery-operated timer:

The usual connection for this type timer is the house black power to the timer black, the house white power to the timer white and the , the light black wire to the red timer wire.
If you only have two wires, one black and one white, at the switch location, then you cannot use this style timer , as it needs a neutral. You should return this timer and get one that does not require a neutral connection.

SOURCE: I have a 59028 timer,
59028 is a Woods in-wall timer.

The lights are blinking so the red and white wires are connected together.
Here's what to do
Switch has 2 wires.
1) Green wire connects to bare copper
2) Take switch wires and connect them to timer-black-wire and timer-red-wire. Choose either one for now.
3) In back of electric box are white wires twisted together and covered with wire nut. Connect timer-white to these wires.
4) If electric box does not have white wires described above, then connect timer-white to bare ground.
5)
Turn on electricity, and push ON-OFF button. If lights come on, timer
is wired correctly. If lights do not come on, then reverse timer-red
and timer-black wires.

Woods 59208 is single-pole timer.

When replacing 3-way switch, some timers can replace either switch. For example Aube and GE.
Other timers can only replace switch that receives power from breaker. For example Intermatic.
The timer replaces only 1 of the 3-way switches.
The other 3-way switch remains.
But in all cases, the remaining 3-way switch has to be rewired to accommodate the timer.
3-way timers cannot replace 3-way switch wire-for-wire.
3-way timers mimic 3-way operation. When 2 of the timer wires are connected, the timer reverses programming. When those two wires are disconnected, the timer programming resumes. So off becomes on, and on becomes off.
The remaining 3-way switch has to be rewired so that switch connects and disconnects the two timer wires that mimic 3-way operation.
SOURCE: Why is Utilitech wall timer making lights flash?
You have connected white and red wires together.
White wire must be connected to neutral or to ground to operate timer mechanism, display and switching.
