Default Hyper flash, not your normal problems (Please help)

Hi guys, I really could use some help fixing the hyper flash on my 13 Street glide. I want to preface by saying when I bought the bike. The front left turn signal bulb was missing out of the socket.

But anyways. Long story short. Upgraded to hogworkz LEDs all throughout the bike. Got there headlight, load equalizer, and turn signals.

Basically I have a hyperflash but it's very random, and it seems to only do it when the bike is running. I've tried everything I can think of trying to get these to work. Tried the instructions from hogworkz and custom dynamics about turning the hazards on, shutting ignition off, let them run for 2 min then on off again with the ignition. I've tried cleaning out the die electric grease in the sockets. Both settings on the load equalizer. Contacting hogworkz support was not much help. They're going to send me a new load equalizer but I doubt that's the problem. Removing the load equalizer causes hyper flash immediately. Turning it to the low setting I think was worse. The more I mess around trying to fix it the better it seems to get but it still does it from time to time.

I can't get them to work properly, and I've spent what feels like hours reading forum posts about what the issues could be. Not sure if the bulb missing from the front left was a sign that there was already a problem when I bought it. But I feel like it could be an indication.

Sometimes it's fine, like a trip around the block it works 5-6 times fine then all of a sudden it did it once. I'm really at a loss. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight to what it could be before I spend the money to have it ripped apart and serviced. I do plan on changing my bars this upcoming weekend is there anything I should look for when it's apart?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Missing bulbs tend to get corrosion in the socket, is that socket clean? Does the light connector fit snugly or loosely in the socket? That's where I'd start.

Didn't see any corrosion, bulb fits snug in the socket.
