If the blinker and reverse lights work on the bad side maybe a new socket.

The tail light, brake light and the back blinker on right hand side is not working on my ml320cd 2008 also the brake light on the left side not working too

So your taillights should have 2 bulbs in them. 1 that turns on when you turn your lights on and stays on until you turn them off. That same bulb should have a 2nd circuit that lights up when you press on your brakes. The 2nd bulb appears when your reverse gear is engaged. So if you have no lights on right you have to replace both bulbs and if you have no brake light on the left you just have to replace your rear brake light bulb.

My brake lights will not function on my 2000 grand caravan.All of the bulbs are new my rear lights work my reverse lights work but my brake lights will not

The bulbs could still be the problem since they are double filament bulbs.If your high brake light work but not the low ones the replace the bulbs.If none in the rear work then you may need a brake light switch(on the brake pedal linkage).If this is not the case the check for power to the brake light side of the bulb and repair the broken brake light wire.

My third brake light works, bottome two do not work. I put new bulbs, new sl switch,and checked all fuses, but bottom brake lights are still not working, there are a green, brown, and black wire running...

Work the 4-way flasher switch rapidly in and out several times. It sounds like the combination switch is corroded. 80% of the time you can clear it by working the 4-way switch (may have to use electronic contact cleaner sprayed into switch as well). The brake lights run through the combination switch (turn signal/wiper switch) to the rear bulbs but the third brake light is fed before the switch.

No Brake Lights

PROBLEM COULD BE IN THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH.
