    Short in the wiring. Seems to be happening a lot recently, coincidence of course.

    Check the trailer wiring harness if you have one. Look for frayed wiring, wires next to sharp metal. Check the front marker lights and wiring too as well as the actual wiring for the taillights them selves. Somewhere there is a wire that has lost it's insulation and it's hitting a ground.
