Default Brake light error - UGH!

Hi, new to the forum and trying to tinker on the car myself. Brake light warning came on a few weeks ago, replaced the bulb and everything was fine; now, when I turn on the lights, the driver side tail lights are out and my warning comes back on, but the brake light still works. Bulbs/fuse are fine. What am I missing? Thanks all!

make sure the plugs are in all the way? does it look like anyone messed with the taillights at all? dont really know what could cause this

what year is your car? if it is a pre facelift make sure your fogs and rear fogs are off before you turn the lights on. if this works someone did a rear foglight mod

bulbs are good; not a fuse issue. haven't touched the wiring and am using the dual filament, not single. must just be an electrical issue? frustrating!

i am very confused about this? first off let us know what year this may help. and if i am reading right.... both taillights come on when you turn on the lights... but when you hit the brakes only the passenger side brake light comes on? at first i thought you meant all of the tail lights were not working. need more info
