Check where rear taillight wires ground. Remove screw, clean contact area and terminal, replace screw with stainless steel one, paint over for corrosion protection. Good wiring harness grounds simplify troubleshooting, as the ground is known good. I like the 3rd eye comment, as the 3rd eye would have a seperate ground. Hope that helps.
