Can you reset FRM short circuits with the snap on scanner?
Also, is that water in your trunk lid in the fourth picture?

If there was a previous short circuit, the FRM cuts power off to that light. I am not sure if it still registers it as a short circuit once power is cut off.

I got lost in your first post.
Do both lights work when plugged into the left side?

Try drawing back the rubber boot from the boot lid end,
to look for breakages.
I had to search quite far into the wiring to find mine.
