Hello there. I have a 2012 road king classic. I seem to have right rear turn but no running and a left turn but no running. Brake light works but blows brake fuse when pressed.
thinking a short somewhere for the brake but stumped.on turns/running light problem. Could my diode pack became faulty? I have abs as well.

ABS Diode Pack

If you still have the yellow lenses the conversion kit has not been installed, as it comes with red lenses to replace the yellow lenses. The conversion kit makes the single filament 1156 bulb light dimly for the running light function and the bulb lights at full brightness when the turn signal or brake is activated. If that converter is installed, the dim feature may have malfunctioned or has all together failed and that may also be causing your short.

True the Kings did not come with run/brake/turn from the factory. This is the module you should have on your King for the conversion. I added this on my '13 King and is plug-n-play and connects to the rear light harness under the seat next to the rear fender. I have since changed all my lights to LED and got a smart load EQ from Custom Dynamics. The load EQ can do more things than just make the lights run/brake/turn.
