The tail/brake lights have three wires coming from them: red, green and black. I have tried the load resistors on all combinations of the three and still have the light-out indicator.

What's going on? Does anyone know specifically which is the "hot" wire and which is the ground (these are the two the resistor is supposed to connect to)? Thanks.
