We have a new M&H harness to the back and the tail light sockets have male wiring prongs on them. All 4 sockets. I wasn't the one that pulled the wiring out, but my son told me that there was only 1 ground wire going from a socket on the DS to tail light housing.
Do all 4 sockets get a ground wire?
Thanks

those are parallel circuits which means each bulb must be grounded to the metal frame either seperately or by a common black ground wire linking all the socket bases to the frame. Pull a batt cable (good habit to get into when checking ohms). switch meter to ohms. see if you have continuity between each taillight housing and nearby floorpan metal. If not then what A12 said, add em

Thanks guys. We had planned on making grounds for all of the bulbs but I was just checking to see if someone had seen a stock setup.
