Default Tailight help!

2012 Dyna Street Bob. Been running with side mount plate and 2 LED's to light that plate for over a year. Re-located taillight/turn signals and no issues. Recently (don't ask me how), the side mount bracket ripped off the bike and it was gone. Replaced it yesterday. Turn sigs/taillight, 2 LED's to light the plate - All good. Went for a ride this morning...…….left side taillight/turn signal isn't working. Front left one works. LED's light the plate. Bulb is not broke - checked filament. WTF is going on? Any ideas would be helpful. Heres a pic of how its wired.

Got it figured out - and fixed. Just in case someone else runs into this. The stock HD connectors will erode in time, especially if up against the fender. I cut them off, soldered, and was good to go.

Those 3 plastic connectors were the issue
