Default I'm stumped!

Ok, I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas on what's going on with my bike. I have a 2012 Street Glide in which I recently installed the SG aux light kit with trucklite phase 7 LED passing lights.

Before the install, I had all four turn signal lenses converted to LED along with the trucklite phase 7 LED headlight and some plasma rods. I have a Biketronics load equalizer installed. Everything was running fine.

After the install, I get the fast-flashing turn signals. I contacted biketronics to see if I needed to add another load equalizer and they said one should work for the entire bike. I was instructed to reset it which did not work.

I then thought it had to be the way I wired up the aux light kit. The directions sucked and some members helped me out. There were two wires coming out of the headlamp (gray and black) and the directions only instructed what to do with the gray wire (plug into #4 front turn connector). What was I supposed to do with the black wire? I was told to join both black wires (1 from the light and 1 from the turn signal) and insert into the front turn connector. The lights and the turns all work. I thought maybe I had a bad ground but after checking all 4 ground wires (2 on each side) were solid.

Now I'm thinking my load equalizer is bad. I removed a front LED turn and replaced with a bulb. This resulted in no fast-flashing. I figure if the load equalizer is bad it still would have fast-flashed due to my rear signals being LED. I'm totally stumped on this. I'm hoping some experts can weigh in and help me solve this. I'm going to post this in the touring section also. If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading.

Ride Safe!

Yes I unplugged the equalizer and ran the turns awhile to teach the computer a super low load....this is what the guy from biketronics instructed and still not working.
