Default 89 sportster 1200 blinker/running light issue

So heres the deal guys.. I have the owners manual and i was checking out the wiring diagram, but i cant seem to figure it out.. Heres the deal.. The bike is supposed to have running lights, as well as turn signals, theres two bulbs in the signals. Anyway, so neither of the running lights come on.. When you hit the right blinker switch, its a solid light on both bulbs in the right blinker, and the back blinker lights up.. (solid as well).. When you hit the left blink switch, neither bulbs in the left signal light up, and neither does the rear signal, and you get a clicking sound from the relay behind the headlight.. I pulled the headlight and where the grip harnesses plug into the wiring harness that goes to the frame, once thats unplugged, eliminating the rear wires, the blinkers both light up(both bulbs in the signals) but still dont blink.. there just solid.. and i still have no running light... any ideas as to what or where to check?
