My Tail lights work but when i put foot on brake why does driver side brake-light not work?
The fact that your passenger side brake light IS working is good news. That means that the brake light circuit is working [fuse, brake light switch, wiring to the back of the vehicle, etc.].
Because the rest of the system works when the driver's side doesn't tell us that the problem is between the point in the wiring harness where the harness "splits" to go to the left and right brake light assemblies, AND that the problem is IN that left side.
Without doing a "hands-on troubleshooting" of your vehicle no one can precisely tell you what the defect is. You will need to check that portion of the wiring system and find/identify the fault, and repair it.
There could be several causes for this and here are the ones that come to my mind at the moment:
- 1. The filament in the left brake light bulb has burned out and the bulb needs to be replaced,
- 2. One of the inline connectors to the left brake light assembly has become disconnected, loose, or the connector internal metal contacts corroded,
- 3. Water, and thus corrosion has gotten into the bulb socket, and has created an open circuit conditon for just the left brake light contacts.
- 4. The wire to the left brake light has been cut or broken.
There may be other causes but these are the ones that come to mind at this moment.

What if your brake lights work but not the tail lights?
Look for a fuse labeled TAIL LIGHTS. There are 2 separate circuits, one for brake turn and flasher and the other is for tail lights.
You have no tail lights or brake lights?
Check the fuse box, also make sure that wire which going along the hinge on the driver's side is not damaged.

Have brake lights and directional lights but no tail lights?
It could be a blown fuse. Tail lights and brake/turn are on separate fuses. Apparently there is not a ground problem since brake/turn works OK.
Brake lights do not work when tail lights are on?
On a toyota tacoma 2003 SR5 when the tail lights are turned on the brake lights come on and when the tail lights are of the brake lights work just fine what could be the problem. If the truck has a trailer plug, inspect the plug and plug wiring for damage and corrosion.
Why does your tail lights only work when you press on the brake?
Are you saying your tail lights themselves do not work and only the brake lights work. If that is the case, check the fuse, and then check the tail light bulbs.
