Rear brake lights

I have a 2013 Ford E250 the rear left brake light doesn't work when I press the brakes. The rear left blinker doesn't work. Reverse lights on both sides in the back don't work.
the back right and top brake light and blinker both work. The front lights and blinkers both work.
When I put the hazards on it doesn't change anything in the back.When I press the brakes there's a small clicking sound in the steering column. Which leaves me to believe that it is a relay. I just don't know which one it would be. I also checked the fuses in the inside panel all good can't imagine it would be in the one under the hood. Any suggestions

Yes I was one of the first things I checked the bulbs are good. But I'm pretty sure it's one of the relays in the steering column because as I said it is clicking when I tap the brakes the right side works the left side doesn't period reverse lights dont work on either side. The bulbs are good

Possiable bad thermostat or fan clutch or gauge, or pump?

OOPs posted in wrong thread again so deleted it

Since I am here.....

Could it be the ground for that side?
have you tried a test light at the socket? perhaps there is a plug connector that the light unit plugs into you might check..

The "clicking" sound you hear from the brake pedal could be the gear selector lock-out.

Does this van have trailer wire added to the rear? Possibly problem with the connector?

Have you check the rear connectors for the left side?

Do you have tail lights, markers/parking lights on the left side?
