There is probably a ground problem in the front somewhere.

That's not the way to find out if you have a ground problem. Just tap into the black wire at the light and manually ground it to see if it does anything.
If your brake lights are working OK, the rear ground should be good.

You also might want to check the bulbs and make sure you don't have the wrong bulbs in there.
