Default Tail light running light not working

Got back last night from a short 500 mile weekend trip. On the first day someone told me that my tail light running light was not working. Brake light was working fine, along with the rest of the rear lights.

Slow start today but I'm going to check fuses before I go to the dealer.

What's your best guess? Fuse or some other issue?

Are you talking about the tri-bar light on the fender or everything in the rear?

*IF* Everything, I would check the fuses first.

Talking about the tail light. That big squarish part that sits in the middle of the turn signals on the fender.

Anyway, here's an update...........

Checked fuses myself and found nothing blown. Loaded up and headed to the dealer to let them check it out. Turns out it was the harness that was bad. They replaced it while I waited and I'm back in business. About an hour at the dealer, not bad for just popping in.
