Angry Wiring, I't never did like me. Lighting problem...

Soon after I got the bike ('08 FXDC) I installed turn/stop/brake light module. Worked great. Recently I bought bags and relocation kit. Seemed simple enough to install layback/signal relocation kit. Nuts & bolts, plug and play...riiiight. I guess it's been too long since I did any DIY bike work. Something is wrong.
Now the right side run/brake function does not work, but the flasher does. Left side-no problem. Main tail/brake light works fine. Is it possible the module is only half fried? I needed a haircut-but I've pulled out most of it.

Any ideas?

I think you pinched a wire on the right side

Could be the bulb too. Try the bulb from the other side and see what happens. Star with the simplest stuff first...

Thought so too, changed out all wires.

Tried various bulbs. Actually plugged left signal into right side-same result.

Have you checked the connectors to make sure none of the pins got bent or pushed back enough to not make contact?
