Default Brake lights work, but running lights do not.

All was well in the beginning when I installed the Custom Dynamics inserts, all 4 corners worked and light up fantastic. the other day, right before I jumped on the bike for my commute home, I noticed one of the rears did not light up as a running light, but light up when hitting the brakes.

Before I really dig into it, what part of the bike gives the signal to turn on the running light vs. the brake light? This is for a 2015 Street Bob.

have you done any mods that would have had you cut the wires? When I added a detachable sissy, I had to cut. I am sure that my soldering skills are good, but I am always checking my lights and wires for loose connections.

Running lights are a constant 12v as soon as ign switch turned on. Solid blue wire in rear lamp harness. Wiggle around the contact pad and check again. Sometimes the bulb base gts a poor contact to the socket pad.
