Default 1990 vert third brake light not working

Ok Ive checked the fuse, the bulb, im stumped.

Every single light on the car works except this one. All turn signals and brake lamps work. I even ran a test wire from one of the other signals/brake lights to the third brake light and it works so that tells me for some reason the socket for the third light isn't getting power.

is there a separate fuse somewhere just for that light?

Thanks.

from what I am reading its most likely the switch as the brake pedal. I have one ordered and should get it replaced tomorrow. I will update as soon as I have it done.

It was the switch at the brake pedal. Problem solved.
