Default 2010 road glide rear lights not working

I pulled my rear light bar off to re powder coat it and after reassembly the brake lights work and the turn signals work but the license plate light and light under the fender stopped working. I checked the fuses and all are good there. Any ideas help is much appreciated.


Thanks,
Tim

Are your front turn signals on as running lights, if so it in the back wiring naturally. If not replace the light fuse even thought it may look good. If it blows you might have pinched a wire.

Ha...Thanks Leo.

Yes the fronts are working as running lights. I installed custom dynamic leds direct wired to the purple, blue, and black. I used them this way instead of using the actual plugs. I was still having the the issue using just regular bulbs. My guess is it has something to do with the way I reinstalled the light bar.

Well I figured it out. I had to disassemble the fachia light at the rear and found that the o/w wire going to the light had lost power somewhere on the circuit board. I just decided to add a jumper wire from the o/w wire to the red wire going to the light and wolla....light.
