    the brake light on the left side quit working, but I have turn signals, park lights and reverse. The brake light switch has power coming out, and everything is grounded. Anyone have any ideas?

    lisaeyten it is possible that the turn signal assembly is bad. check at the harness connecter under dash and see if you have juice there. the brake light switch puts juice to the assembly and the turn signal assembly sends it to each side. good luck.
