In the compartment that holds the jack for this model, look for the wires near the rear it should be by the brake light but inside the vehicle. There should be a connection there for the light. If there is corrosion or a loose wire this would cause the problem of the passenger side working and not the drivers, I researched this dealing with no lights except the 3rd light working during braking, turns out it is the trailer harness connection.
