I've done the following first:
1 Replace the bulb left brake light still did not work
2 Replace the entire left lights, still did not work
3 Replace the brake light stocket, still no effect.

Now I need to know how to resolve this problem?

Your right side is ok, it's only the left side? Have you checked to see if all your other lights are ok? the brake lights run thru the turn signal switch so when you signal a turn your really using your brake lamp. Many times a bad turn signal switch takes the stop lamps out. Does the front signals work ok? and both rear turn signals? There is a body computer a combination flasher and a harness that are all part of the circuit. I would buy myself a 12 volt test light to check for voltage behind the left rear socket, they sell them right here, cheap and excellent for testing all kinds of problems you may have in the future. Around 12 bucks. Do you have voltage behind the socket? It's a dark green wire. This comes directly out of the turn signal switch. These multi-function module like switches fail all the time, but you really need to test that dark green wire for voltage, ok?
