Brake Light issue

My roommate just told me that the drivers side brake indicator light isn't working on my 99 RS. So we took apart the trunk and looked at the bulb.

with headlights off - brake light works fine

with headlights on- parking light works fine, but bulb stops lighting when brakes are applied

We switched bulbs with the other side and same issue so its not the bulb. We thought it might be a bad ground so we found a ground and added a length of wire to get a better ground and that didn't work. I am probably going to look for a new harness for that side unless anyone can think of anything else to try?

 
look under your dash, near the brake switch and pedal contraption and steering column, for smashed or chafed wires.
