look for chaffed or bare wires somewhere between the back of the cab and the taillights. Does it have a junction box at the back of the frame? If so look in there for corrosion and bad connections. Sounds like you’ve got some green wires somewhere

That was all back probed. We seem to have it when you put a heavy load on it. We just put in a new controller in and looks like this was the problem. Thanks for your help.
