Brake light issue

[HomeStar]

Hey All,
Embarrassing question here...
I have a 2010 T4R Trail. My left brake light went out. I replaced the bulb, still nothing. I inspected the connector, and it looks fine. From what I can tell there is only one fuse for both brake lights, so I don't think it's a fuse issue. I'm out of ideas...

Has anyone else encountered this? Any insight or things to try?

Thanks everyone!

I've not had this problem myself, but this thread might give you some ideas on how to proceed:

Funny, I had the same thing on the drivers brake light. Replaced bulb, switch left over to right ... not fixed.
Took to dealer and it was an "open circuit" ... fixed for $22. Sounded like something was not connecting properly.
