The Stray voltage occurs either when the headlights are on, on the 2nd Notch of the headlight plunger, or when pressing the brakes. Thus, I have sort of determined that the short must be occurring on the harness that goes to the back of the vehicle. However, I I peeled back the insulation and looked all over the place, and I was not able to find anything conclusive. I followed every single wire, gave every single Shake test on every single spot, and still nothing. No changes. I traced it all the way to the firewall, and even behind the fuse block again, stI'll no changes. also, I removed the headlights, and even the headlight pigtail, from the circuit. Which I was in need of replacing the headlight terminals anyways. For the ground, I am using the one underneath of the tailgate, to the left, where the tail light ground is. And another reference to a ground can be either a clean spot on the exhaust pipe, or the body tub, anything other than the frame. the body to frame ground, at least in the front where the core support is, to the passenger side frame is totally clean also. And I did a continuity test without any signs of resistance.
