Default blinker problems

so yesterday by right blinker just stayed on... and then it started blinking agian. tonight it did the same but didnt start to blink agian. i installed LEDS not to long ago and have had no problems. so i had fast blinkers.

if i have no lights on the blinker to the left is fast and the blinker to the right is normal,
if i have my fog lights on then the right stays on and the left is fast, but the hazards stay on.
if my are headlights on, the right is slow and the left is fast but the hazards still dont work.

please help me!!!

also id look into getting a flasher fit for those LEDs. ive heard some type of ford flasher fits the XJ flasher and cancels out how it measures off resistance and will blink normally. i had LED tails and hated how much of a ***** it was to get the blinkers to work so i sold them and went back to stock.

i think if one bulb is bad, it can effect the whole set up. my 99 xj has a bad e flasher switch, the 4 ways dont work, and if the switch gets bumped, the blinkers wont work at all, a quick jiggle will get it going again.. ive got a few electrical issues- master door switch, fan speed control switch, etc.
