light doesn't work when i hit brakes

the passenger tail light doesn't light up when i tap the brakes, but when i hit the lock button on my key fob, that particular light lights up just fine. i have been working on stereo stuff, so i'm sure that working attributed to the non-working light, but i don't know how... does anyone have any clue how to fix such an issue? i really have no clue. a fuse maybe?

When you hit the button on your FOB the tail light fillament works, meaning that one is good. SO ALL YOU NEED IS A NEW BULB.
