Question Brake light issue

My inside left brake light is out, and I was trying to fix it today. I figured it was just to bulb so I switched it with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the issue. It still illuminates when I turn the running lights on but not when I hit the brakes or use my left signal. What's goin on here?

If you're talking about the light above the reverse light, it isn't supposed to illuminate for brakes/signals unless you have the sequential tail light kit.

If you're talking about the "middle" bulb, then I don't know...

I was talking about the middle, one, but I got it. Turns out it was just a bad new bulb, I tried a 3rd bulb and it worked.

Oh okay gotcha, sucks to have a bad new bulb. FYI, in the future you could have swapped the middle bulb for the innermost bulb since that bulb (unless sequential equipped) doesn't use that filament
