Brake light problem

If my left brake light does not come on when the brake is applied what do I need to check on a 2007?

Does your left turn signal flash?

Pop out the tail light assembly and check/replace the blub.

There's a torx 15 nut right in the top of the tail light....unscrew it and the tail light will drop right out.......twist the bulb out........take the bulb to your local auto supply place to make sure you get the right one.....then do the above in reverse order.....
