Yeah, sounds like a short or bad connection somewhere. One of the places that they can tend to go bad is where it crosses over from the body to the tailgate--try wiggling that around with the brakes on and see if it flickers. Otherwise I think you'll have to start ripping the panelling off and tracing the wires...
