You don't have an intermittent short to ground in your loom somewhere near the rear tails? That would fit both the cause of the original chip failure and the new symptoms...
Thanks! I though it looked kinda sloppy from the pic and I was waiting for someone to hate on the job I did. Thanks for the positive encouragement!

There might be something going on with the light housing, I have repaired it a couple of times and it looks like there might be some rust/corrosion under where it connects to the wiring harness. Unless someone has a better idea I will try to isolate the light socket and see if that fixes the intermittent issue. Otherwise I will run a temp wire from the LCM to see if that helps.
