Only the passenger side tail/stop lights work
1990 C4 Corvette -
When I depress the brake pedal only the passenger side brake lights and the center roof bake lights work. Earlier in the day all the brake lights worked fine until I did some hard braking in the process of bedding in some new pads. Then the brake lights stayed on so I went down under the dash to adjust the switch alignment on the brake pedal and at some point in that process I lost the driver side brake lights. The switch button was also sticking, and giving it some lube didn't work, so I replaced the switch entirely with a new one and that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas what I broke? I would think the passenger and driver side brake light run off the same wire, but if not, maybe I broke one wire? I'm stumped and hope the forum saves me!
Thanks!

Looking at my '88 FSM (not sure '90 is same) one brake pedal line runs both L & R rear lights while the other line runs the hi stop light.
Activate the hazard lights and check if both sides flash.
