ground problems after bed re-install..

well, the socket pig tails are not side oriented... i went out and swapped them, and it did the same thing. the drivers side is just not burning hot enough, and the reverse lights are still coming on.
but i did find out, and confirmed, that when the the trailer harness is unplugged and the tail lights are plugged in without the trailer harness, the lights work as they should, without the reverse lights coming on.
im at a huge loss, and dont know what to do... the trailer harness is unmolested, and is in great shape. so its not that.
edit... also, i can take either reverse light out, doesnt matter which side, and they no longer are on with the brakes. however if both reverse bulbs are in, and you take the drivers side brake/turn bulb out, the reverse lights go out as well, but only when the trailer harness is connected.

Trailer harness is fine... it was pulled off my buddys daily driver and he never had any problems... so the problem is my truck. Somewhere after the trailer harness. However... curiosity strikes again.. 3157 bulbs in the rear and 3157a in the front right?

im gonna try to get to the junk yard tomorrow and get the tail light sockets, and then go from there.

so ive come to the conclusion, my truck is cursed... i fixed all the grounds i could find dealing with the rear lighting.
however... been thinking about this. could the multifunction switch be doing it? the wipers have been acting funny lately, getting stuck halfway up the windshield and such.
so im thinking its something within that area.
also, could it be the CTM? ive had that though bouncing around too.
