You might need to clean the connection between your light clusters and the car.

Bulbs blown.
Incorrect bulbs.
Incorrectly fitted bulbs.
Clusters not connected correctly.
Metal tabs in the bulb holder not making contact with bulb terminals.
Take your pick

Poor connection on switch in passenger footwell.
Had this issue with a 1.1 206, I tried taking the switch out, but as I wiggled it, both started working again.

im sure the brake lights are on separate fuses, and are linked with other things. If the 3rd brake light works, then the driver side one should aswell.

But that's what I thought.
Top one was working, left wasn't and right one was intermittent.

Changed the rear lights by any chance?
Its not the fuse, switch or earthing points.
Its the connector on the lights or the lights themselves.

Run +12v direct to the cluster to ensure they work?
