I check all of the fuses under the hood and on the drivers side fuse panel. Found where the lght connects to the wiring of the car in the roof of the rear hatch. I disconnected the light from the wiring and tried a test light. The hot wire was not hot at the connector while I had the brake pedal engaged. Also I could not get continoutity( bad spelling) through the LED 3rd brake light so I am assuming the light is bad. I did not want to replace it till I could get the hot wire to light. Is there any thing else that could keep power from going to the light other then a fuse?
Thank you in adavnce for any help you could give me.
