Almost certainly a bad earth in your left hand rear light somewhere.
Clean the earths up REALLY well, ( like silver shiny metal ) and put a new end on the wire to be sure.
You can test it by grounding one end of an extra wire on a really good contact point on the chassis and getting someone to hold the other end on the common earth contact for your rear left blinker, stop light, reverse light and tail light while you try it again.

Definitely not getting a proper earth somewhere.

I have also seen a whitish corrosion on the bottom of the bulb itself, and in it's socket, cause the exact same symptoms.

If there is evidence of water in the taillight lens, go for the bulbs and their sockets first. Clean, clean, clean.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help. Cleaned it all up and put a new wire on and it is working good as new."

Problem with parking back lights on my school bus I changed all the fuses and nothing my headlights work reverse lights work

Do the front park lights work? The front and rear park lights should be on the same circuit. If no park lights operational, possible switch or power/ground issue. If only rear park lights not working, suspect burned out bulbs/wiring problem to rear lights

You have no power when the parking lamps are on. Do the front parking lamps work? If the front parking lamps work then you have an issue with the rear wiring. Use a test light to verify you do not have power at the sockets.

Toyota Landcruiser ute HJ75 2H Dsl 4lt starting problems

Sounds like pump timing is out of sync with engine crank and camshaft. Utterly crucial on a diesel engine. all needs to be pinned in place when refitting chain or belt, then pump timing sho uld be set up with a dial test indicator. A job for someone who knows what their doing. Before considering buying this carry out compression check as if timing is out between cam/crank tow starting could have bent valves!

Hope this helps!

1990 Volvo DL Sedan Brake Lites Work but Also Come on With Running Lites

Is there a switch on the left side of the dash that has a red lens and a wavy line across it? If so, you have a rear fog light switch and it has been activated, causing your brake lights to come on each time you turn your headlights on. Flip the switch and the rear lights should display only the parking lights with the headlights on.
