Darrell, this is the classical symptom of a bad ground on that side.  The 
current wants to return to ground but that path is blocked so it finds another 
path through the back up light to the back up light on the other side and then 
to ground.  Since that is not a low resistance ground weird things happen.

Check the ground on that side and see if it clears up.

Cheers
