On classics and early cars, there is one under the coin tray, driver's side lower dash: you have to lower the coin tray, then pull it right out.

And it REALLY helps if you post what car........

However, if it were a fuse, it would likely put all three lights out, so..........

First off, see if you can trace which wire comes from the brakelight on the worlking side. Then trace it back towards the top of the boot and across, where you might find the wire from the non-working side.
It could be a poor connection, bad earth, short circuit on the spoiler brakelight, corroded connectors, broken wire, etc.

Bad connection, then.

I'd be inclined to look at any connections and check for corrosion.
