Default 1997 Ram 3500 turn signal wiring problem

I have a bad wire to the left rear stop lamp and turn indicator. I have traced it forward to where the connectors are at. Just having a hard time finding the correct connector and wire. Any advice?

Were exactly did you trace it to? I wired lights before and the way I do it is with one of those 12volt test lights. Turn on your blinker and go threw all the wires and when the test light starts blinking you know thats the wire for it. Same for the brakes. When I did the brake lights I put a 2x4 in front of the seat and moved it forward so that the 2x4 was wedged between the brake and the seat. And make sure you have your test light hooked to a good ground

I have traced the darkgreen/red wire without power far foward. Now I can not find the connectors it goes through. The switch checks out good.
