Default 2001 Deuce tail light

I recently noticed my tail light and brake light wern't working. My fuses are good. But if you turn the key to auxillary, the brake light will work with both the hand lever and the foot lever. With the switch in the run position (or even running) I have neither. The bulb has both filliments still good in it too. I'm not sure where to start since I don't think it is the switchs for either lever, fuse, or bulb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ignition switch? Just throwing it out as a place to start. Do you have a manual?

Thought about that. I even tried wiggling the switch with it running thinking I could maybe see the light flicker from a short but nothing happened. No better place to start. I do have a manual. Looks like I will be using it. lol Thanks
