Default 04 FLHT brake light issue

When I apply the brake the brake light lights and the fender tip light goes out. Any ideas ?

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.
