Default running lights not working

it was a weird coincedence but i joined the other day and not even a full day goes by and i get a problem

the running lights stopped working, turn signal and brake indicator are good

but thats it, the bike is an 01 dyna superglide

checked fuses behind the coil and the headlight bulb and its good.

also can someone tell me the order the headlight wires are sposed to be plugged in? i had them placed relative to how they were plugged in but they had moved while i wasnt looking

Just curious.
The running lights aren't on if the high beam is used.
Only work with low beam.

It can fool you.
One of our HOG members noticed her passing lights didn't work.
After a $125 labor charge, they told her the lights were fine, just don't work with high beam.
That's the way they are built.
I thought she got ripped with that common sense answer from the dealership mechanic.

You are confusing the auxiliary lamps with the running lamps.

Running lamps are in the front turn signals, and the tail light.

Running lamps are on whenever the ignition switch is on.
