I just had the EXACT SAME problem on the weekend.
Check your tail lamp fuse. If it's blown, replace it. If it blows again, you have a short. Mine happened to be within a 12inch section of the harness where it goes through the firewall to the white bulkhead connector under the dash. Ended up soldering a new piece of wire going from the bulkhead to the connector under the drivers side cab, behind the front left fender.
The shorted wire I had was black w yellow stripe, better known as the running light / park light wire. What a mess wiring can be. One sure way to tell if you have a short aside from a blown fuse is to hook up a multimeter and measure resistance on that wire.
