Drivers side both bulbs for brake light are not working

My brake light does not come on when I brake. The light works when light are on but not when I brake. Changed bulbs, two brands checked wires and fuse in panel. Right side works, left does not. Is it cheaper to go buy the whole housing at a junk yard? I am trying to chase down the problem.

I have been having problems with the passenger brake light burning out now both lights don't work fuses are all good the third eye had the wires pulled out from a plug under the dash somewhere and I don't know where they go

No I tried this already

I lost the manual to the car and now I do not know what color or number I change for my brake fuse that does not work.

Yes I can shift from park and drive fine but where could I find the break light switch

I have checked all the fuses and checked all the bulbs. All of the rear lighting works except for the 2 rear brake lights. Even the third brake light in the rear window works. All turn signals, reverse lights and normal rear lights work. I have read that this problem can be because of a bad circuit board by the light sockets but since all the other lights work is this the case? I have already read that the brake line wires come from the brake switch and go through the turn signal switch and to replace that and since the rear window brake bypasses the turn signal switch it still works. Is this the likely cause?

Thanks for your help,

So I see the connection running from the front left fuse panel into the brake switch and then from there into the splice pack. From there it goes to the high mount light and that one works which confirms that the brake switch and connections leading up to the splice pack are fine correct?

From there I see it running into the front and left rear light assemblies. I also see connections that run from the turn headlamp and wiper switch that also connect into the right wiring junction block which ultimatly ends up connecting to the right and left rear light assemblies. I think there may be a problem somewhere between there?

Also, since I will be buying a new car sometime next year and do not want to put money into this one. Is there a way to mickey mouse this situation? I don't care if the stop light works at the same time as my turn signal. Do you think it is possible to run wire from the splice pack directly to the rear light circuit? Or what would be the best option?

Thank you guys so much I appreciate this.

And yes I have a test light so where would be the best place to connect it to help me solve this issue?

Just purchased a used 1998 malibu ls from a dealership in Dec. Of '05. When I took it off the lot the right side brake light was not working. Took it back and they "fixed" it for free. Its now one month later and just recently the ligth stopped working again. Rather than take it to the dealer and have them charge me an arm and a leg this time, I was hoping maybe I could get some suggestions to solve this problem. I realize that it might be a fuse gone out, or even an electrical problem. However, I do not have any diagrams so that I might track the problem myself. Any help that I might be able to get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

GM has big problems with the circuit boards for the rear lighting on the Malibus. They are attached to the rear sockets, and tend to have contact problems.
