Exclamation Headlight and passing lights issues

2009 Ultra Classic with all LED lights.

When I went to start the bike today I noticed the headlight and passing lights were off. I started the bike and nothing. Then I hit one of the turn signals switch and all the lights on the bike started blinking. After a few seconds the headlights and passing lights will stay on. I checked all fuses and they are OK. Not sure if one of the relays/equalizers from the LED lights is having issues? Scenario happens every time now. Attached video showing the issue. Thanks!

Thumbs up

UPDATE: I removed the Custom Dynamics load equalizer and the HD auxiliary brake light/running module and the lights worked fine. I cleaned all contacts and reconnected the HD module first and tested OK. Then only the CD equalizer and tested OK. Everything working fine. I also noticed the BrigthAssLights tail light pattern was reset to solid. I configured it back with the magnet and everything seems to be working OK. Not sure what created the tali light to reset and if it was only dirty contacts or maybe one of the modules is dying. The HD one is 10 years old the CD about 2 years old.
