Default '15 SG tail light and running lights not working

Good morning gentlemen, Looking for some ideas?

This started a few weeks ago, my red security light would come on and then go off during a ride, sometimes it would stay on for a while depending on how long of a ride and then go off. I read where this could be a lighting issue. I pulled the LED turn signals out to reset the plug and wires. I'm working a lot this summer and can't ride as much so I'm not sure this did anything.
Last night when pulling into the driveway the dashboard light came on and I saw the running lights and tail light was off. I checked again this morning before work and the lights were still off.

side note: I'm pretty good at turning a wrench with mechanical problems/maintenance, not so good with electrical. I appreciate the time.

Default Computer reset/ running lights and tail light out - LED's

Quick note on the security light issue: I put the Custom Dynamics LED turn signals on 2 years ago and have not had any problems until now. The security light came on then would go off. Brought the bike to the dealer and the light had gone off when they got it in the shop. The service manager went on to say the computer was resting itself but the code read no running lights. He cleared the codes and does not think it should happen again. Hope not but we'll see.

I would check the obvious things first: Fuse, wire connections, ground, etc.

If all checks out, if you still have your stock bulbs and sockets, try plugging them in to see if they work, If not, at least you know its not your LED’s.

I’ve heard that if the brake tri bar is disconnected that the running lights won’t work. Check all connections at the box behind the light bar?

Connections are good, it was a computer reset due to the LED's. Good to go at least for now.

I had to do this when I installed my new LED rear lights on my 2014 SGS.

BCM PROGRAM PROCESS
The BCM will self-learn the LED turn signals by activating the
Hazards after LED installation. Activate the Hazard Warning
Lamps (four-way flashers). See operator's manual or service
manual. The BCM ignores the first 8 cycles of the Hazards.
The BCM learns during the next 8 Hazards. The BCM is
updated after 16 cycles.

Exactly! The dealer and another shop said the same thing. Ty, I'm hoping to be good to go, but at least I know now
