Exclamation Help please!

so i bought 2-3" red LED lights to put under my tailgate net so that i dont need to untint my tails. Wired the left side and everything worked great, blinkers, brakes. Wired in my right light and now i have only constant running light. no blinkers or flashers unless i turn my headlight switch off then they blink and flash but so does all the instrument lights in my cab. Hoping i just burned up a relay. Can someone please help out my idiotness.

It's been blinking fast since I put the LED bulbs in. So tonight I added load correcters. Like I said everything on the driverside worked. It was when I added the load correcter to the passenger side that the blinkers stopped working with lights on. Now they only work with switch off, but they make my entire dash blink with them.

All fuses are good, pulled them last night. First thing I checked. Each blinker wire is its own circuit right? I wired the two LEDs into the running light wire and blinker wire. So two wires off the LED one to blinkers and one to running light. LED has internal ground when mounted to body
