LED bulbs do NOT put out the same power as the standard bulb. The cars way of letting you know a bulb is out or has a lack of power is by flashing sporadically.

Since you have LED bulbs all over, that's probably what's causing everything to not work properly.

If you start using standard bulbs and it's still messed up. Check the wiring every where.
