My left brake light is out.

I get a warning message as soon as I turn the key on (no need to press the brake). The bulb and fuse tested OK, but I replaced them anyway. I tried to pry up a bit on the center contact for the bulb, no luck there. The right and center brake lights work, so it's not the brake light switch. The rear fog lights work (same fuse, different bulb) so the fuse has power.

I see a few other people have reported this problem, but nobody posted that their problem was fixed, or what they tried.

I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
