Bad ground on driver's side brake light

I hit the brake lights and running light dim. Plus reverse light will light. No brake light. If I ground the bulb socket everything works fine. I traced back to a connector in the frame rail next to the spare tire, but got dark before I could trace further. Anyone know where the ground eventually hits the frame?

Think there is supposed to be a ground running from the wiring to the frame rail at the back?

I couldn't find anything. I'm thinking it's forward of the spare tire. I'll have time to play with it tomorrow and Friday.

I didn't find where it eventually made ground. I ran out of time and just spliced into it and grounded to frame. Everything works fine now.
