thanks for your response, fixed a ground prob with the headlights. they are now functioning properly, i still have tail light issues. i checked the connection between harnesses under the brake booster i have power there but not at the third connection at the bumper. I now believe it has to do with the trailer light connection.

Those trailer wiring "T"s are annoying. If you have any
double wires into one side of a connection start there first,
that's where I found my problem. Tho my truck is missing
the driver side connector and the wires are just splices nd
connected together (thanks to whoever had it b4 me) so I
had to cut one plug off the harness to splice it in... also
check the grounds for the tail lights. Inside the area u pull
them out of
