All of my left rear lights are out, help
 
So a week ago my left brake light went out. I changed the bulb but it still didn't light up. Now all my lights on left tail light are out except my blinker. Any ideas? The bulbs are fine as well as the fuses.

Brake light switch? Right side works, so wouldn't be that...

Are the lefts on an independent circuit and fuse? If so, check for power there... replace the fuse with a tested good while there, even if the original looks good.

Check the harness behind the light housing to see if you're getting voltage there...

Sometimes the metal tracings on the bulb holder can lift up. Or, since you were recently in there, maybe the connect to that side didn't seat and has popped mostly off?

Check your light switch. Had a similar problem that affected rear lights, head lights. Replaced switch and problem solved.
