Problem with runnung lights.
2008 FLHTCU
I was inserting a new LED light in my front fender running light. It seemed to not be getting full contact. Being that the harness is made of rubber I squeezed it one way and then the other, trying to move the prongs so the light could get full contact. I had the ignition in the "on" position to see if what I was doing was working. Well... I squeezed to much and made the two prongs touch, it threw a small spark and my running lights went out. My headlight, blinkers, taillight, etc. are all working. I have checked my fuses and it/they are good. Is there a fuse hiding that I don't know about!? Does anyone have any suggestions on the fix?

Use the spare fuse (same amp value) and swap out both "lights" and "accessory" and see if your lights return. Unless you used a test light or DVM to test, visually it can fool you. Or, if you can, test the socket pin for voltage. Hope it's that simple.
