Default light problems?

Need some help here- I just started reassembling my 1971 FLH, I've started on the lights and have ran into an issue. I have a brake light, but no tail light.
this is what happens on each ignition switch setting-
OFF- everything is off
Accessories- nothing is connected.
Ignition- Neutral Light, oil light, and can manipulate the brake light, no tail light
Lights- Neutral light, oil light, high beam indicator light, actual headlight, No tail or brake light..

any ideas or solutions? Thanks

Paul-
