My driver's side brake lights are not working. When the lights are on, both tail lights are on, and both blinkers work correctly. Hazards are fine. When the brake pedal is depressed, the driver's side lights go out completely (passenger side works fine.) Bulb was just replaced, still having the problem. What is next?

You have a bad ground circuit at the driver side taillights. Check for broken ground wires or poor connections. Check the ground circuit holding bolt for proper tightening and cleanliness.
