Well, I would have to say the wiring is probably bad. Either the positive or ground wire.

Get a multimeter and go to town. Start chasing the wires, make sure there's continuity where there should be and none where there shouldn't.

found the problem. it was in the harness to the CTM. the bottom one had a little water get into and it created some corrosion. got some harness cleaner and cleaned the connections. now i have lights.
