I replace the bulbs and the whole tail light assembly and the same problem came back but now the light will not work at all so I have no rear left turn signal or brake light on the left.

I don't think it will be the ground at the frame because both sides use the same ground. I would recheck the tail light housing electrical connector for burns or corrosion. Here is the tail light and blinker wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. The blinker and tail lights have there own power circuits so it would be rare for them both to go out. Check out the images (below). Check the fuses in the wiring diagrams as well.
