Icon3 Help! Single brake light not working.

i need help! i am the proud owner of a sexy little 1994 Honda Accord Lx. manual transmission. with the cruise control (not that it matters). i have always checked everything before my daily commute to avoid hiccups with the law but just recently found out that the driver side brake light does not light up but the regular tail lights do (when the lights are on) i switched the bulb and hoped that it would fix the issue but it remains! i switched that left bulb for the right one that did work and the new bulb worked perfectly fine on the passenger side but the bulb did not work on the driver side? i went to the local parts store and they said a stop light switch could be the issue, 45 dollars later and a aching back the light will still not turn on i checked the fuses but could not find the right one but all are perfect fine... honestly feels like i have done a lot to no success can you guys please help me out? i honestly dont care about the money i lost because i lost something else.. my original fuse pick thingy magingy not cool please!

Well you pretty much have it narrowed down to the wiring. Test to see if any electric is getting through the wires when you press the brakes

You want to test the "bulb failure" sensor on the left/drivers side tail light.

Where exactly are the sensors? And what do they look like?
