License plate light is the brake light.

My mistake, I was looking at the HDI version on the schematic.

Have you tried disconnecting and cleaning the electrical connectors?

Got it. For some reason the wires on the fender tip light were in the wrong positions. Had them on 2 and 3. I moved 2 to 1 and woila! Previous owner must have messed with it.
