You're pictures aren't showing up.
The red/blk wire is for the taillights to come on when the lights are on. It is not part of the circuit for the brake lights themselves.
There should be two bulb sockets. One bulb socket should have an orange wire for power (+) to that socket. Another bulb socket should have a grn/red wire for power (+) to that socket. Check for voltage at each of the orange wire and the grn/red wire.

A little strange, although the 1990-91 Honda electrical circuit diagram shows a grn/red power wire for the brake light at one of the sockets, I see some color photos (not your pics, as they don't show up yet) with an Accord having a grn/yel instead of a grn/red wire on the left side. I do see in the photos, another socket with an orange power wire for the brake light, which matches the circuit diagram.

Maybe pics will help? (See below).
--I don't see any "orange" wire on this harness. There is a red/black wire that should be power for the tail-light. My tail-lights come on though, it is just the one LH Brake light that does not (which is the green/blue wire).
--I noticed that the continuity on the offending green/blue wire is not zero but 530ohms, or 5.3...whatever, not zero anyway. ...So, maybe it is a ground issue? But, if that is the case that wire should not show 10.5v power, right?

Let's try the pictures again:
