Angry Funnt turn signal problem

My 2000 Ram Sport has developed a funny problem.

My left turn signal works all good but when I use the right turn signal all the turn signal lights blink along with the license plate light. Before all this happened I installed LED tails in her and all was good for about 2 months. One day I went to drive her and the right turn signal blinked really fast, as in burnt light bulb, then a few days later everything was blinking.

The LED tails have the resister built into them, is it possible that one has burnt out or shorted out? I havent had the time to pull them and check due this dang crud going around has got me bed ridden for a couple days.

Something is wrong with it if it worked fine for that long and suddenly acted up, without any tampering.

If other lights are blinking to, yeah, something is definitely connecting where it shouldn't be.

I was under the impression(and I'm not absolutely sure) that pre-'02 Dodge's had to run a relay for any LED and '02+ had to use resistors.
