Well after 3-4 days of frustration I finally figured out issue. Yes almost embarrassed to say but the hazard switch was pushed in once I pulled that out all lights working fine. Leave it up to me to do that.

The only thing that still is not working is blinkers. They activate on each light but do not flash. Other than that all is well in electrical land. Haha. Thanks everyone for help and suggestions. I wouldn’t be this far without the help of you guys on here. Great site.

Oh me...isnt it always the simplest thing some times....glad you figured it out...
The blinkers not blinking is most likely due to the leds... you'll need resistors to make those work..
Do like tempest suggested..wire a 1157 bulb in place of the led and see if it works..thatll let you know for sure what the issue is
Still odd that the hazard would affect the running lights and dash lights...the hazards should be on the brake light circuit..
But would explain why the flasher relay was warm..and the LEDs wont pull enough resistance to make it flash so that would be easy to miss.

I think it was affecting dash lights due to me having wires crossed at first with gauges and taillights. Once I got that and checked flasher I was like you have to be kidding me. Haha.
I also read somewhere that you can replace the 2 prong flasher fuses to LED and that will help also? Wasn’t sure if I do that or the resistors. The turn signals work they just don’t flash.
