As the title states, my driver's side rear turn signal and brake light do not work for my 1966 V-8 coupe. The only driver's side rear tail light that works is the regular driving nighttime light. When you actual turn on the lights, it comes on but brake and turn signal do not light up when used. Everything works fine on the passenger side. First thing I did was replace the bulb. Still the same. The next things I did were the following:

1. Replaced turn signal switch
2. Replaced steering wheel mounting kit for my Grant steering wheel. I did this because horn did not work at all and now it works perfectly.

I drive the car once a week on the weekends. The brake light and turn signal worked for the first time I took the car out but the second time someone mentioned that my brake light did not work. I checked it when I got home and it did not work, neither did the turn signal.

What do I do now? Where should I check?

Thank you for any advice someone could add.
 
You have something wired backwards in the turn signal switch area. Check out the wiring diagram again to find out which wires go to the left tail and fron marker that are broken and check to make sure they're not crossed up.

This could also be a problem with your hazard switch if your car has one so check that out too.
