May want to use a test light and see if the brake/turn works before the light bulb socket.Those have a tendency to burn up the sockets for the bulbs, especially the plate style mouning for the bulbs.Looks like itis a yellow wire for the left rear brake/turn

Its inexperience, not ignorance. Remove the taillight assembly and find the connector for the brake/turn bulb.turn on left signal and use a test light to probe the wire before the socket the bulb plugs into.
