All 3 of them? Even when parked and shut down?
What does the clocksping have to do with it?
Did someone do something with wires?
Trailer wiring?
LED bulbs?

Sounds like you have more than one issue. These are not all related.

Have a close look at the tail light bulbs and sockets , could be melted plastic involved or wrong bulbs.

I am curious on what was found !

As asked are you using LED's in the Stop lights ?

So far I can not find s LED bulb that will do Brake Run and Turn
Anyone I contacted said they will not work,,

I’ve used led 921 in the third brake light but they didn’t last 6 months, back to the OEM bulbs.

I also thought the question was going to be about not being able to see stoplights from the slit that passes for a windshield, lol.
