Can a rear light be used as a running light?
If your bike’s rear lighting is stock, then you won’t have running lights. The rear turn bulbs are single element, while the fronts are dual element, giving the fronts only ‘running’ light function.

Why are the rear lights not working on my car?
As the rear lights are not connected, they do not illuminate. A fuse is a band of metal alloy inside a plastic container It is designed to break in the event of a power surge.

I tested pin for electric brakes on the female 7 pin on bumper. Long story short after doing Continuity test and receiving a good feed bad and running and Oms test found that there was high resistance on the electric brake wire.
