Possible Blown Fuse Question

Possible Blown Fuse Question
I was testing my new Custom Dynamics rear fender tip light before installation and plugged it in with the acc switch on. There was a small arc and now neither my fender tip light or BrassAss taillight will light when the acc switch is turned on. Both still light up when the brake is on. It's just that neither will work as a running light. My BrightAss tail light worked fine as a running light before my screw-up. Since the plug is a 3 prong plug, I'm guessing one side of it has no power.
I assumed I had popped a fuse, but checked all the left side 15A fuses with an ohm meter and all check good. All other electrical works fine on the bike.
Any suggestions or ideas about what else might be wrong?
Thanks

On the tail light plug, I'm reading voltage when the acc is on, but can't really tell which of the prongs is working since it has 4 prongs and is hard to reach with my meter probe. My wire colors are not the same as you described.
I can plug in both the fender tip light and the brake light and neither will come on with just turning in the acc switch to on. However, both will light up and work as brake lights when the acc is on and brakes are on.
Are there fuses somewhere else besides left side that might be blown?

Yep... that was my lesson learned for the day. For some reason, I was thinking I could check resistance that way. I thought I had done it like that in the past, but I guess not. I was just ticked at myself for absentmindedly plugging in the light with the power on.
