    This is what needs to happen. Test everything rule nothing out.

    yeah i just wanted to eliminate the tail lights because of how crusty they were. worst case scenario i have nice new tail lights. tomorrow i’m going to
    the junkyard to cut a harness off of a tacoma so i have extra plugs and stuff. and then this week sometime i’ll start trying to figure the wiring out. not having a garage makes this process a lot slower.

    Update for you guys. Got the new passenger side tail light in the mail today. Put it on, and to my surprise it fixed my issue. Had a gut feeling that the lights themselves were the issue. Glad to finally have this sorted! Thanks everyone who offered help

    If you want some practice, poke around the old taillight and figure out what went wrong. It might just be corroded in the sockets or something.

    Thats a good idea. I think it was coming from the 3-way ground splice in the tail light.
