brake light doesn't work

When i turn the lights on, my left tail light won't come on. But when i press the bakes, it will light up. What's wrong? is it the wiring?
email at brents.1@juno.com. thanks.

the bulb might be bad, just take out the bulb to see if its burnt if its not then it may be the wiring.

Its a burnt bulb, the rear tail light bulb has 2 filaments, 1 is for the brake light and the other is for the tail lights. One filament will break and not work but the other will.
