It sounds like the issue could be corrosion on your 7-way plug and a good cleaning of the terminals may solve the issue. This may be true even though you have used two separate vehicles to test.
It also may be that you have an issue due to the LED lights and you can use the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End # 20142 to solve your issue. This will resolve the hyperflashing and allow your lights including blinkers to function properly.
If you want to consider a different system, I recommend the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2120. I attached an install video for this set of lights.
