I am having an issue with somewhere along with my passenger taillight wiring. When I have my driver side taillight hooked up only everything seems to function normally. Them I hook the passenger taillight up and when I hit the brakes the right taillight doesn’t work and both reverse lights pop on. When I use the left turn signal it works fine but I hit the brake and right taillight doesn’t work and reverse lights pop on. Them if I turn my right turn signal on it blinks fast and both the brake light and turn signal flash on the right taillight and both reverse lights flash but still when I hit the brakes the right taillight stops working and both reverse lights pop on. Their is no issues when the right taillight is unhooked. I truly am stumbled because sometimes everything will work perfectly fine but most the time it is not working right. My whole way to work today it worked normal but on the way home it started acting up again. I got no lights on the dash either.

My bet is bad grounds . And or Maybe the passenger light fixture is faulty.

my second guess too. bad grounds will wreak havoc in an electrical system, not to mention drive you up a wall
Would you happen to know where the ground would be located for something like that? All the fuses are ok also
