Brake light problem

[JTSi]

Ok, Im having an issue with my brake lights. When i push the brakes only the passenger side is working. The driver side doesnt come on but the light itself works. Bought a new socket and bulb just to see if it helped and it didnt...any ideas?

How did you test the bulb,switch sides?.Could be the socket, but more likely corrosion from the salty roads. Check the connections under the vehicle, look for green powdery substance, or a broken wire. If all looks OK, spray some contact cleaner in the socket.

Have you taken a meter and seen if there's power? Someone will have to step on the brake pedal to check it.
