The first thing we need to do is check the EXT LP fuse 20 amp in the fuse panel inside the car, this guide can help you and I have included the fuse location in the images below.

Okay, if you checked the fuse for power and the fuse is okay turn the headlights on and check the brown wire at any running light socket, if there is none then chances are the multi-function switch is bad.

Here is a guide to help with the running light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:
