My driver side brake light does not illuminate when depressing the pedal. The passenger side and the third light both work. Fuse is good and I assume the brake light switch is good because the other lights work. Is it possible to jumper a wire from the other light to the driver aide and make it work? Tried testing but no luck.

Hello, I am Danny.

Did you try replacing the bulb first? You might want to check the ground wire on that circuit side. Look for looseness/corrosion/etc. I have attached a wiring diagram for your truck and a few tutorials for you to view. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
