when you are in reverse & the reverse light is on, is the white wire at the brake pedal switch hot? Foot not on the brake pedal.

where is the ground located at the tail lights in general the bulb metal side contacts the socket which is grounded to the housing which is likely grounded to the body thru the mounting screws which I ain't telling you anything you don't already know & if you take a jumper with an alligator clip on one end & clip it to a KNOWN good nearby ground then stick the thin pointer on the other end into the side of the bulb area to contact the bulb metal side that will elim or confirm a ground issue on that side of the vehicle.

Ground strap between column mounting stud and mounting bolt that holds the bracket the nylon square washers are captured in. Ground between firewall and back of cylinder head. Thanks for the suggestions, but those nylon squares and the ground strap aren't used on the E-bodies.
