Liquids in hydraulic brakes help to stop an automobile by creating pressure and moving a set of pistons to generate force. This force is applied outward and causes friction that stops the automobile.

When i depress my brakes only the passenger side front brakes work the drivers side is not even getting power why is this?

It sounds like you may have a problem in the hydraulic system or the caliper. Hydraulic systems are routed 2 ways for brakes, either front and rear, or a diagonal split. To see if it's in the system, apply the brakes and see if only the one wheel is affected. If not, look at the proportioning valve or master cylinder. If it is, try opening the bleed screw on the affected caliper and have a helper lightly press on the brakes. You should see a steady stream of fluid with no bubbles in it. If not, the rubber line is probably damaged. If you do, the caliper itself may be seized. For any brake problem, make 100% sure you are comfortable doing the work. You don't what a failure while driving. If not, seek competent professional help. I have related links attached to my bio here at Wiki.
