try swapping the good bulb over to that side?
have someone step on the brakes while you wiggle the bulb, socket and wires?

It is a dual-filament bulb. Maybe the brighter filament is out. You need a 7443 bulb not 7440.

Get a DMM, or a 12V test light from the auto parts store and work forward from the problem socket.

At some point, all 3 come to one junction. And then a single wire forward.
