Default Brake Light Problem

Does anyone know what would cause the drivers side brake light not work, the taillight, reverse light and blinker work fine. The only issue is the drivers side break light doesn't come on when I press the brakes. If anyone has any experience with this and knows any solutions I would really appreciate the help.

Light bulb not getting power from switch through body harness.
Each of those systems have their own power source.
Also, brake light power goes through turn signal switch. You might fidget with t/signal lever and see if it comes on.

pull the bulb and see if the connections are worn down. maybe have someone push on brakes and turn the bulb a little to see if its not connecting.

I assume you checked the bulb? Socket is probably the most common issue after the bulb. They will look like crap, all corroded if they are bad.
