Passing lamps

Had the fairings off this weekend, inner, outer, and switch- for some handlebar adjustment and touch-up painting. After reassembly the passing lamps dont come on, and the switch is not on (no light). Headlight works fine.
Cant find or imagine what is wrong, its 3 plugs, 1 at each lamp, 1 at the switch. I did however, turn on the ignition for headlight adjustment before the lamps were reinstalled. Is it possible the mysterious (to me) canbus gods "learned" that the lamps werent there? Or does it have to be something more simple ie: bad contact/connection?

If I sound like I dont know what I'm talking about... Well dont be surprised.

You have probably left a connector unplugged. If they worked before you did your work it's probably on your end.

check the fuse. I installed a pigtail for heated vest. and then the passing lamps didn't work. It was as simple as changing the fuse.

Yeah, its gotta be that simple right? Just ran out of time before I could check fuses and recheck the connectors, but I have NO doubt that the problem is from my end.
