Default intermittent led tail light issue gone worse

I have a 2004 night train. I have not made any mods to it. It came with a brake light with integrated tail lights. It recently started flickering and sometimes turning off completely. It does not illuminate when brake handle or pedal is engaged. It did not have operating turn signals when they were pressed. Ive pulled the fender and traced every wire to try to find a bad, loose, or pinched wire. I also replaced the kuryakyn controller because i thought that was where the wiring problem was. Now I have obviously created another problem because I currently don't have front turn signals nor do the signal indicators on the "dash" work. These were working when I started working on this problem.

Does it show a code when you run the diagnostics? Could it be your TSM or TSSM? Tuen signal Security Module under the inner fairing? I recently had a issue with my left turn signal not working and found it to be a bad load equalizer attached to me Kuryakyn controller.
