Default No Brake or Reverse Lights Passengers Side

I am getting no power to the passenger taillight for either brakes or turn signal. I was able to track down the turn signal and put a jumper wire in under the dash to get this to work. IT lights up both lights for turn signal now, where the drivers side only has the outer light blinking. Which is correct? I cannot however locate where to look to get the brake lights to work.

What I know is the wires to the trunk are good, as I got the blinker to work. It is something under the dash that is faulty, hoping some of you had run into this in the past and can offer some advice, photos of where to look would be amazing!

Well I guess you’re not blowing fuses so theres no shorts and that’s a good thing.

Is the ground connection good to those bulb sockets?

You never said what the car is but most car's brake lights run through the directional light switch.
