Hi,
Both brake lights are on the same fuse so if the passenger side works it is not the fuse. Look closely at the socket contact with the bulb out--there could be some corrosion there--scrape it clean with a knife blade. Other than that, it could be the wire behind the socket is broken off. Hope this helps--Jerry

That is very strange then. The blinker is the same part of the bulb(I think) as the break light....Have you had someone to press the break pedal and have a test light on the plug?

Jim I have turn signal and tail light? Go figure I just checked and My fuses apear to be good, and for grins I turned on flashers and no go left side out......so does this point back to a fuse issue or is there a broken wire somewhere from the triple split? It is hard to investigate with my book because it is not for specific year and make it is for 2000 excursion
