the socket that the bulb gets inserted into may be corroded or just bad, also check the wiring to ensure it is connected and not broken at the bulb housing.

oh thought you said all were working..so neither brake lights work either? may have wiring issue somewhere at one of the brakelamp assemblies. need to inspect that wiring very good. also test the brake light switch, located under driver dash near brake pedal

did you test out the stop/hzd fuse in the instrument panel or just visually inspect it?
