    I don't know what those lines are. Are both to that relay?

    Since relays do fail start by checking that.

    If you pull the relay is there continuity all the way from the expected pin(s) to the taillight bulbs?
    If you test the pulled relay on a bench does the side which is supposed to switch actually do so?
    Is the resistance on the drive side of the relay within the acceptable range?
    Are there any internal shorts in the relay?
