Maybe a break in the white/gray wire running down the passenger side?

May be stupid but have you checked all the connections on the lights? They are aftermarket LED's so it could be something there. Should be able to test the wires on the led with a meter and see if you're getting anything at the tails. Might be easier starting there then the transmission.

Opps nvm, I didn't notice you had found the issue ha

Default Hole

Brankz, If you Run without fender liners in the rear. (I have them in the front) There is a hole in the metal from the factory that needs to be sealed with some RTV. I used Diff cover gasket RTV on it. If you don't seal it up your going to get all kinds of crap in there when you go Wheeling.

Here are some pics, I also Have Pandemic Flush mount Taillights
