the ground for the taillights is on lh side of frame at rear that is normally the one that is screwed up. the harness may be worn through as it runs from inside truck down lh side frame rail. check the brown wire as well as the lt grn wire which is for b/u lamps as that is the same fuse. so it may be back up lamps
