Default 66 Vert- Brake Light Problem

My right hand brake light and back up lights are non op. The left brake light works as does my parking lights. I've disassembled lower valance, mufflers and have access to the rear harness. Everything looks good but I get no power to the right brake light/back up lights. Ideas? Has anyone had trouble with the rear body connector? I'll start there tomorrow. As always any ideas would be appreciated.

Look for power on BOTH sides of the body connector in the 18-ga. dark green wire (RH brake/turn signal circuit), and in the 18-ga. light green wire (backup light circuit).
