    One side works but not the other side???????
    Due both side marker lite work?????
    Left turn/stop light color code is green/black strip
    Left tail light is brown
    Right turn/stop light color code is red/black strip
    Right tail light is brown

    So take your test lite and test the brown wire to see if you have power at the both sockets if so BAD GROUND ...

    If not broken wire in wiring cross over form left to right OR a bad wire splice joint ...

    That there tells me it is definitely a bad ground, or there is a break in the wire going up to the socket somewhere.
