Also, check the ground.

I had the same issue.

I ended up running a extra wire from the tail light housing to the body just to make sure I had a good ground. It solved my problems.

The tail light housing grounds to the body using the bezel studs and spin nuts, mine had fresh thick paint on the studs & body surface insulating the stud. (At least I thought that was my problem)
Also the new gaskets I put in probably didn't help the ground. Havent had a problem since.

P.S. I learned that star washers and dielectric grease on all ground wire points is alway's a good preventive measure in fighting electrical gremlins.

Good luck,
