Tail light help please

It's been quite awhile since I've been on this forum and first on the chevy side I believe. Anyway we have a 99 2.4l Malibu and on the driver side rear the tail light isn't working. I've replaced the circuit board with a Dorman and neither 2 worked so I bought an AC Delco and that doesn't work so obviously my problem persists farther. Does anyone by chance have a diagram of the wiring from the tail to the front? Or have any suggestions. I will also say that it hasn't worked for a couple months but when inspection came around I replaced the board with the dorman and it luckily worked that day for inspection and then after didn't have like I said tried two other boards, so hope that helps you in helping me.

Just the taillight isn't working?

Have you checked for power on the brown wire?

Yes its only the light that comes on with the headlights that isn't working. And no I haven't tried the brown wire because I do not know any of the wiring with the car, I'll check it tomorrow morning and see what I come up with.

Alright, sorry for the delay, but anyway I checked and there is power at the brown wire and that is the only wire with power.
