Now, if you're problem stays exactly the same after doing that jumper switch, then do this: Remove your jumpers and put the fuse back in on the green fused wires and leave the yellow one on the workbench. Disconnect the yellow wire at the driver's side tail lights. Run a temporary wire from the yellow hot side of the fuse fixture that is open directly to the tail light. Repeat your test. If the lights now work properly then there is a flaky problem with the yellow wire. If the problem is still exactly the same, make sure you're getting voltage at the temporary wire (and don't have it mistakenly hooked up to the non-hot side of the open fuse). If you are, then there is a problem with the light fixture/bulb/ground there at the fixture itself.
