^ It all started at once.

I haven't gotten a chance to do much investigating yet, but I did some thinking and came up with a lead I can track down. Somewhere along the line, someone installed an aftermarket trailer light hook up in the car for some reason. It involves much splicing in the wiring leading to the taillights. A couple weeks ago, I had to yank my spare tire out (it was stuck) and I think I may have knocked something loose in that rat's nest of wires.

I'll report back with results as soon as I get a chance to work on it.
