fixed the problem and it was of my own doing. never use wire taps for permanent wiring. so two out of the four wires were almost completely severed. i knew it was my bad one night when i was getting gas and i noticed my left break light which was the one i tapped into was flickering. i redid the wiring job this time soldering them together and the problem went away. you do live and learn! thanks for all your feedback and help guys!
