    You have a short !!

    Does this truck have one of those converter boxes for trailer lights that would be the first place I would look

    Also could be physical damage to the wires .

    Do any work to the truck where you may have caused anything ?/

    I second Wyoming09 - trailer light box is a very common cause of rear lighting issues. Exactly the same thing happened to me.
