Default lost running lights in the rear

I relocated my front signals. In doing so I pulled the harnesses in front of the tank to run wires. After buttoning up after the relocate I notice my rear lights only come on when the brake and signals are activated


I checked bulb, rear wiring harnesses and fuses and found no irregularities.

To recap: I have no rear running light (front is good) and my brake/signals are fine.

I'm second owner and lights worked fine before I messed with front signal relocation

Thanks!

so...your rear brake running light is out? or there are no rear signal "run" lights? On most models, you have to add a run/brake/turn module to have your signals also be running lights.

No, brake light works when brake is engaged. But the center tail light is not working as a running light

See if the rear running lights are getting 12v at their connectors. Then work your way forward, something is probably unplugged.

I checked all connections up front. All seems good. Everything is plugged in and working properly up front . I checked for codes and there was not any. I'm about to start tearing into the rear now but I'm perplexed because all worked well before I relocated my front signals...
