Default FLHX-Right rear brake and turn lights not working

I have a 2013 street glide. I recently did a handlebar install, all went off with out a hitch. All electronics worked perfect, until I realized the only issue was the right rear turn signal and brake light were not working. The running lights work fine as well.

Front right blinker is working fine so thats where im at a loss? I figured if the front right is working and just right rears arent, how can it be the wiring I completed. I tested the molex connectors I changed, and they appeared to be fine. Please help!?

I don`t think you did anything to cause the problem, if it were in the switch wiring, it would affect both the front and rear.

Simple stuff first, bulb...

Second thing to check is the electrical connector at the rear between the main harness and the rear lighting harness.

So i pulled the left rear bulb out as it was working properly and put in the right side, still same issue?

Where is that harness your talking about, main harness to rear lighting harness?

Look under the seat. It`s the plug you would disconnect if you were removing the rear fender.

Dan, I located that harness and was able to test it. Right directional is working at that connector. I tested the right bulb socket and that isn't working when blinker is on! So it's gotta be something in the rear, but dumbfounded because haven't even touched anything in the rear? Maybe a fuse, but I've changed out a few of the fuses that would match?
