Two things -

• Are you saying the Left side brake light is temperature-wise-hot w/o even turning on?!?!? Check grounds around the brake light. Anything shorting to ground?
• Wiggle the N7 bulb out warning relay under the hood. Any difference wrt the dash light? Open up the relay and inspect for cold solder / broken solder joints and re-solder.
