    The drivers side corner lamp fell off while I was driving on I-95, didn’t have time to stop and go back for it but that’s okay. Once the unit had disconnected from the wiring it killed my dash lights and the running lights do not come on anymore.
    My headlights work and brake lights come on when braking.
    Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the issue? I checked the wiring it doesn’t look like anything was ripped out with it, no fuses look blown.
    I’m traveling pretty soon and in need of help to fix, can’t drive at night without the running taillights.

    Hmmm... I wonder if you need to connect the two loose wires back to an original plug to properly terminate, complete, or provide feedback for some type of circuit for the running lights?

    I'm thinking fuse. Even though a fuse might look good, prove it with a multi-meter.

    Plus, @FN2187 is probably right about damage elsewhere in the circuit.
