Default wiring help

I bought a kit from harley that turns my turn signals to auxiliary brake and running lights to use with my shortened fender. It worked fine but when i cut my fender, I also cut all the wires to the turn signals and break light to make them shorter, reconnected them to the plastic connecters and plugged them into the original module that was behind the brake light and attached it to the underside of the fender. Problem is the left signal now does nothing. the right works as turn/running/and brake. Any ideas what i did wrong or how to fix it?

First off, make sure that the pins are all the way locked into the connectors, sometimes they get pushed out when you push the connectors together. Double check your splices. How did you connect the wires together? Also check to make sure your bulb is in the socket properly. If neither filimant in the bulb is working, it could be the ground wire from that bulb is not connected somehow.

I didnt splice any wires, I got new pins for the connecters and put them on where i cut the wires and attached the plastic connecters. I checked where I attached them and didnt see the problem. Im thinking of just buying a chopped fender kit from harley cause it comes with everything, and the rear fender needs a paint job badly.
